| How to install Haskell from scratch | |
| ----------------------------------- | |
| - Attention: There is a matching version of GHC for each version of Haskell | |
| Platform, make sure you check to install the one matching the Haskell | |
| Platform you plan to install | |
| - Download binary GHC package from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ | |
| - Unpack, then: | |
| $ export VERSION=7.4.1 # adapt | |
| $ cd ghc-$VERSION | |
| $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc-$VERSION | |
| $ make install # takes 1 minute | |
| $ export PATH=$HOME/ghc-$VERSION/bin:$PATH # you want to put this to .profile or something | |
| - Download Haskell Platform that fits the GHC version from http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ | |
| - Unpack, then: | |
| $ cd haskell-platform-$VERSION | |
| $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc-$VERSION # we're installing ghc and platform to the same directory | |
| $ make install # takes ~20 minutes on my x41 | |
| - Done. continue with cabal update etc. | |
