scheme-to-js's Issues

Error with 'cabal build'

Hi
I would really like to try out scheme-to-js. Unfortunately I have absolute zero experience with the Haskell platform. I get this error from cabal, but I have absolutely no idea how to handle this let alone how or where to get proper Haskell support/help. Any idea?

 $ make build                                                                                 git@main
cabal build
