I am trying to install ghc-mod. Running MacOS Mojave 10.14.1. Right now, when running cabal install ghc-mod I get:
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '- nopie' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: ghc-mod-5.8.0.0 (user goal)

[__2] fail (backjumping, conflict set: base, ghc-mod)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: base, ghc-mod, syb
I haven't found anything on this particular failure. So I tried installing happy which "may be needed for installing" according to this.
But doing so I got the following warning:
Warning: could not create a symlink in /Users/myname/.cabal/bin for
happy because the file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You
can create a symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable
file has been installed at /Users/myname/.cabal/bin/happy
How could I do so? Would this even resolve my prior issue?
I also tried using stack install ghc-mod but I'm getting Plan construction failed.
GHC, Cabal and Stack are all updated.
