- Install ghc 7.6.3 and Haskell Platform
- Install ghc 7.8.2 and Cabal
Install Ubuntu 12.04 depencies:
$ sudo aptitude install -y libgmp3c2
Symlink the library:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 /usr/lib/libgmp
Afterwards, download, configure, and install GHC.
$ wget https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.6.3/ghc-7.6.3-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf ghc-7.6.3-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
$ cd ghc-7.6.3
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ghc
$ make install # sudo might be necessary
Add /opt/ghc/bin to $PATH.
Install Ubuntu 12.04 depencies:
$ sudo aptitude install -y libglc-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
Haskell Platform Ubuntu dependencies:
$ wget http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/download/2013.2.0.0/haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvf haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/haskell-platform --enable-unsupported-ghc-version
$ make -j4
$ make install # sudo might be necessary
Add /opt/haskell-platform/bin to $PATH.
Cabal is included as part of Haskell Platform. Go ahead and update it:
$ cabal update && cabal install cabal-install
Some useful packages:
$ cabal install ghc-mod hoogle hlint pointfree
You cannot currently build Haskell-Platform with 7.8.2, so ignore these build instructions.
Install Ubuntu 12.04 depencies:
$ sudo aptitude install -y libgmp3-dev
Afterwards, download, configure, and install GHC.
$ wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.2/ghc-7.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz
$ tar xvf ghc-7.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz
$ cd ghc-7.8.2
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ghc
$ make install # sudo might be necessary
Add /opt/ghc/bin to $PATH.
If you are running Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 you can bootstrap cabal from this binary image.
Otherwise build it from source:
$ wget http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-1.18.1.3/Cabal-1.18.1.3.tar.gz
$ tar xvf Cabal-1.18.1.3.tar.gz
$ cd cabal-1.18.1.3
$ ./bootstrap.sh --user
Update cabal:
$ cabal update && cabal install cabal-install
Some useful packages:
$ cabal install ghc-mod hoogle hlint pointfree
