I was unable to build with Ubuntu: haskell platform 2010 because of illegal bang-pattern usage. I added {-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns #-} extension to src/Freenect.hs to get it to build.

installed libfreenect-git:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43763

When doing "cabal install freenect" getting the error:

• Missing (or bad) header file: libfreenect.h
  This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
  provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
  already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
  --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
  If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
  compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
  with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
  cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
  freenect-1.0.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
  ExitFailure 1

I am getting the following error (multiple instances) when installing haskanoid under ghc 8.0.2. The error seems to be related to freenect. I tried a sandbox install too with same result:

a linked thread

The current version on hackage is very outdated. Several crucial fixes have not been published there, which means that it doesn't even compile.

IMHO the current version on this repo should be published on hackage.
