GHC macOS Installer

GHC macOS Installer

The purpose of this is to build a GHC macOS Installer to demonstrate how to code sign, package, and notarize an application.

GHC macOS Installer was originally created and influenced by Kosala Sananthana's tool at KosalaHerath/macos-installer-builder.

Requirements

• macOS 10.15.6 or greater

• Xcode 11.6 or greater

Installation, Setup, and Usage

1. Download and decompress a recent GHC version

   wget https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/<X.Y.Z>/ghc-<X.Y.Z>-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz
   gunzip -dc ghc-<X.Y.Z>-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz | tar xf -

   e.g.

   wget https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.10.2/ghc-8.10.2-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz
   gunzip -dc ghc-8.10.2-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz | tar xf -

2. Download the installer

   git clone https://github.com/conradwt/ghc-macos-installer

3. Copy files to macOS Installer application directory

   cp -r /path/to/ghc-<X.Y.Z>/* /path/to/ghc-macos-installer/macOS-x64/application

   e.g.

   cp -r /path/to/ghc-8.10.2/* /path/to/ghc-macos-installer/macOS-x64/application

4. Run installer

   cd /path/to/ghc-macos-installer
