This a binary installation tarball for a build of GHC 8.2.2 that you may find suitable for use on Windows Subsystem for Linux, running Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits.
It was built on native Ubuntu 16.04 - not WSL - using
./configure --disable-large-address-space
to work around Microsoft/WSL#1671 and GHC Trac #13304.
To work around the large file size limit on GitHub, the tarball has been split into two pieces. Before installing it, run the command
cat ghc-8.2.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-wsl.tar.xz.0* > ghc-8.2.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-wsl.tar.xz
(We may switch to Git LFS some day.)
After that, the instructions for installation are the same as for the usual GHC binary installation tarballs. See the file INSTALL inside the tarball for details.
This installation is distributed under the same license under which GHC itself is distributed. In particular, it comes with NO WARRANTY, neither from us nor from the original distributors of GHC.
