Description
Running the "official" stack installed from the binary package manager on FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE, `stack 1.4.0 x86_64`
If GHC isn't separately already installed via the FreeBSD package manager, the usage of `--install-ghc` results in the following:
[I] mqudsi@php ~/conffmt> stack build --install-ghc
Preparing to install GHC to an isolated location.
This will not interfere with any system-level installation.
Downloaded ghc-7.10.3.
