@alcinnz Not an experienced Haskeller (so no charge), but I have an eclectic enough knowledgeset that I might catch it. Do you have steps to reproduce? (Chuck a tarball on 0x0.st, maybe?)

@wizzwizz4 Here's some instructions (if you've got a remotely recent version of Git, SDL2, GHC, Cabal, FontConfig, & Harfbuzz):

git clone https://git.argonaut-constellation.org/~alcinnz/CatTrap
cd CatTrap
cabal run cattrap-argonaut https://haphaestus.org/

That'll usually crash! Once its fetched all the Haskell libraries needed.

@wizzwizz4 Oh, and thanks for the offer!

@alcinnz Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' is 371 days old.
Run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available packages.

… I didn't realise it'd been quite that long since I last used Haskell!

@wizzwizz4 You'd probably need to do that then... I have uploaded some of those dependencies well within the last year!

@alcinnz Okay, I've got an actual issue now. It can't find a correct harfbuzz version.

[…]
[__0] rejecting: cattrap-0.5.0.0 (constraint from user target requires
==0.4.0.0)
[__0] trying: cattrap-0.4.0.0
[__1] next goal: harfbuzz-pure (dependency of cattrap)
[__1] rejecting: harfbuzz-pure-1.0.4.0, harfbuzz-pure-1.0.3.2 (conflict:

database)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It can see cattrap fine.

@alcinnz Ah, never mind, it's just saying I need to install Harfbuzz 3.3.0 or newer. (Rather clear error message, that! I just couldn't read it.)

The easiest way to install these dependencies is to upgrade my OS (I'm still on Debian bullseye), and I can't do that right now. Sorry.

@wizzwizz4 Thanks for the attempt, anyways!
