“ghc-cabal” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Summary

I have downloaded the binary distribution of GHC 8.8.2 for macOS 10.15.3 and I'm getting a dialog:

“ghc-cabal” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Thus, I'm not very clear how to proceed because I have two choices here Move to Trash and Cancel.

Steps to reproduce

cd ghc-8.8.2 ./configure make install

Expected behavior

I expect that GHC would be properly installed with errors and dialog warning messages.

Environment

  • GHC version used: 8.8.2

Optional:

  • Operating System: macOS 10.15.3
