Pardon my ignorance about compilers, Haskell, and programming in general (I have no background in CS, please don't roast me :), but cannot the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) produce a (binary executable) package that could run in Linux/Windows without having Haskell?

Yes, and the announcement even says:

"Binaries for Mac and Linux are available."

Except the latest release has only a binary for macOS.

still doesn't mean you need Haskell in your CI environment.

Correct. I didn't say I needed it. I just suggested that I might do this.

Sorry about that, have built a Linux version now. (There wasn't a Docker container available for the build file I'd used at the time)

No problem at all. Thanks!
