Installing with stack

[jeffswitzer]

I'm on mac os and have tidal installed and working via stack however I'm having trouble getting tidal-midi installed.

Per the prereq instructions I did
brew install portmidi

Then when I ran stack install tidal-midi I got the following message:

In the dependencies for tidal-midi-0.9.4:
    PortMidi must match ==0.1.6.0, but the stack configuration has no specified version (latest applicable is 0.1.6.0)
    tidal-0.1.0.0 must match >=0.9.4 (latest applicable is 0.9.4)

Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps in /Users/jeff/Development/tidal/stack.yaml:
- PortMidi-0.1.6.0

So I added - PortMidi-0.1.6.0 to my stack.yaml

Then when I run stack install tidal-midi I still get:

Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:

In the dependencies for tidal-midi-0.9.4:
    tidal-0.1.0.0 must match >=0.9.4 (latest applicable is 0.9.4)

Plan construction failed.

Any tips? I'm new to haskell, but heard using stack was the better route than cabal. I'm used to npm in the js world though and it seems similar.

I also tried to install 0.9.4 specifically but got the following:

kaladin:tidal jeff$ stack install tidal-0.9.4
Error parsing targets: tidal target has a specific version number, but it is a local package.
To avoid confusion, we will not install the specified version or build the local one.
To build the local package, specify the target without an explicit version.

Thanks for any help!

I don't use MacOS, but from the tidal-midi prerequisites: https://github.com/tidalcycles/tidal-midi#prerequisites It says you need to run "brew install portmidi" first. Have you tried that? Aside: I just realized I forgot to mention this step for MacOS users in my tidal-midi videos :(

@kindohm yep I've ran brew install portmidi
This error is weird to me:
tidal-0.1.0.0 must match >=0.9.4 (latest applicable is 0.9.4)
Do you think there is a typo in the most recent tidal stack version, like it should be 1.0.0 instead of 0.1.0.0?

Jeff, I've reproduced the problem on Windows, and got up to the point where you see the Tidal version error. However, I see a different version number: Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered: In the dependencies for tidal-midi-0.9.4: tidal-0.8.2 must match >=0.9.4 (latest applicable is 0.9.4) I see 0.8.2 instead of 0.1.0.0. From what I can tell, Tidal-0.8.2 is the version that has been published to Stackage. I guess the next step I'd like to take is to understand how to get Tidal-0.9.4 published to Stackage, but I'm not sure if that will solve your problem since you're seeing "0.1.0.0". Not sure what is going on there.

Since you are seeing 0.8.2 which is the current tidal version in stackage LTS, you can switch to the stackage nightly build to get tidal-0.9.4. I was messing with this last night - here is a related stackoverflow I opened. I didn't get it all figured out yet but will let you know as I progress. Do you know how to answer Alexis Kings question in the stackoverflow about whether I need to be doing stack install vs stack build? I'm trying to use stack exec atom at the end to open the atom editor which is supposed to allow the atom tidal plugin to use stacks ghci I think. At one point I had that part working just without the tidal-midi support.

Yes, I got "stack exec atom" to work, and Tidal/atom will use stack's ghci. I'll look more into the tidal-midi issue and the stackoverflow issue later.
