Not tested on a device yet. What that means

ghc in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own ghc package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so ghc should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • ghc
  • ghc-9.6.6
  • ghc-pkg
  • ghc-pkg-9.6.6
  • ghci
  • ghci-9.6.6
  • haddock
  • haddock-ghc-9.6.6
  • hp2ps
  • hp2ps-ghc-9.6.6
  • hpc
  • hpc-ghc-9.6.6
  • hsc2hs
  • hsc2hs-ghc-9.6.6
  • runghc
  • runghc-9.6.6
  • runhaskell
  • runhaskell-9.6.6

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Interpreters and runtimes run on the device's own ARM64 processor, from Debian's own packages. Keep projects in your Linux home folder, which is much faster than Android's shared folders for trees of many small files. Libraries with compiled parts need an ARM64 Linux build, or the tools to build one on the device. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About ghc

From Debian's package description

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation system (GHC) is a compiler for Haskell.

Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language. The language definition and additional documentation can be found at https://www.haskell.org/documentation/.

From Debian's description of the ghc package, under that package's license.
