Unable to include the library in a project

[Abhiroop]

I have a stack project which has the resolver lts-13.14. When I include llvm-hs-quote through the stack.yaml the build throws the following error:

    Preprocessing library for llvm-hs-quote-0.1.0.0..
    Building library for llvm-hs-quote-0.1.0.0..
    [2 of 8] Compiling LLVM.Quote.Parser.Tokens ( src/LLVM/Quote/Parser/Tokens.hs, .stack-work/dist/x86_64-osx/Cabal-2.4.0.1/build/LLVM/Quote/Parser/Tokens.o )

    /Users/abhiroopsarkar/Haskell/hailstorm/.stack-work/downloaded/kbUU6haXgO1k/src/LLVM/Quote/Parser/Tokens.hs:483:10: error:
        Not in scope: type constructor or class ‘Pretty’
        |
    483 | instance Pretty Token where
        |          ^^^^^^

I am not sure why this error came up. I separately cloned the library and tried building it and it works fine. I have tried including the mainland-pretty package in my package.yaml file as well (which contains the Pretty typeclass) which I don't think is the problem and this doesn't solve the problem as well.

I am not sure could this possibly be related to some upper bound issue or using some specific version of mainland-pretty?

I figured out the issue. It is with the mainland-pretty package which modified its directory structure and added a new module. This package depends on a particular version (0.2.7.1) of mainland-pretty. I patched the package to compile with the latest mainland-pretty on stackage here:

Abhiroop@788d6f6

However this additionally works with a fixed version of llvm-hs-pure which is not compatible with lts-13.14's llvm-hs-pure. Is there any plan to support the recent llvm-hs-pure? (I am working on LLVM 8)

Hi!
We’d be happy to accept a PR to upgrade to newer versions of llvm-hs-pure and mainland-pretty. At this point, this package is more of an experiment into getting the old quoting package for llvm-general to compile with llvm-hs and hasn’t seen much love beyond that so things are not in the best shape.
