Re: [sc-users] Installing Tidalcycles on Archlinux?



Hey there,

I am coincidentally going through the same hell as you, if it's any comfort...  
Let me know if you find a solution, I am currently not able to build the f*king 
thing on arch either (nor anything else haskell-related that is not in the 
pacman/aru repos, for that matter. Getting all kinds of missing modules 
errors...). 
I don't mind the extra haskell packages for pandoc, as I need that thing to work 
for other stuff I'm doing, but it would have been great not to have to learn 
haskell from scratch just to try out tidal. If a kind person would consider 
maintaining an aur package I would be enthusiastically upvoting it!
