1 This is the INSTALL instructions for a binary distribution of GHC. For
2 more details on what on earth this package is up to, please consult
3 the README and ANNOUNCE.
5 This distribution can be installed in a location of your choosing.
7 To set the ball rolling, run the configure script (as usual, run the
8 script with --help to see what options it supports). eg. to set up
9 the package for installing in directory <my-dir>, use
11 ./configure --prefix=<my-dir>
13 The default installation directory is /usr/local.
15 The configure script will figure out what platform you're running on,
16 and a couple of other interesting pieces of trivia, which it will then
17 fill in the Makefile.in template to give you a real Makefile. If
18 you're of a paranoid persuasion, you might want to take a look at this
19 Makefile to see if the information is correct.
25 (`make show-install-setup' prints the details of where the different
26 pieces of the bundle are heading when -- possibly helpful).
