bindist.md

install stack

CentOS-specific preparations:

yum install ncurses-devel gcc-c++
localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Building the binary distribution:

stack setup
stack install alex happy
stack exec --no-ghc-package-path bash # the --no-ghc-package-path is important!

pacman -Syuu
