to get the other repositories:
$ cd ghc
- $ chmod +x darcs-all
- $ ./darcs-all get
+ $ chmod +x boot
+ $ ./boot
This grabs the "core" packages by default. To get the full set of
packages, instead say
- $ ./darcs-all --extra get
+ $ ./boot --extra
This also downloads the libraries that are normally bundled in the
"extralibs" package (see above).
Quick start: the following gives you a default build:
- $ sh boot
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
-The "sh boot" step is only necessary if this is a tree checked out
-from darcs. For source distributions downloaded from GHC's web site,
-this step has already been performed.
-
These steps give you the default build, which includes everything
optimised and built in various ways (eg. profiling libs are built).
It can take a long time. To customise the build, see the file
