How to build an Apple Silicon version of the PureScript compiler

Updates:

2022-07-01

Add prebuilt binary for 0.15.4

2022-06-24

I changed ghc to be installed with ghcup and ghc version to 9.2.3 to match PS 0.15.3 added the RELEASE flag.

Install ghc

brew install ghcup
ghcup install ghc 9.2.3

Install llvm

brew install llvm

Get opt and llc on your $PATH

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/llvm/13.0.0_1/bin/opt ~/.local/bin/opt
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/llvm/13.0.0_1/bin/llc ~/.local/bin/llc

Clone purescript

git clone https://github.com/purescript/purescript.git

Changes to stack.yaml

system-ghc: true
compiler: ghc-9.2.3
compiler-check: match-exact

Install the compiler!

stack install --flag=purescript:RELEASE

Tweak PureScript extension settings in VSCode

Add NPM path: Disable

Additional info, check that the ghc compiler version matches. (e.g. at the time of my writing it is 8.10.7)

I had to build with stack redirecting output to /dev/null like so: stack install > /dev/null. I was running into segmentation faults without the redirect.

environment:

  • M1 Pro
  • zsh
  • brew installed haskell-stack

Tiny bump on this, specifying stack install --flag=purescript:RELEASE makes the build "closer" (it really just changes purs --version) to the actual release builds and also stops segfaults with stack install on zsh, for some reason...

Bump again, cabal builds also work on this. I usually run cabal install --install-method=copy --overwrite-policy=always -frelease and it'll live under ~/.cabal/bin/purs

I get this:
