Trying to document how I built Elm Platform on FreeBSD 11.1
| # make sure lzlib exists on system. | |
| # run `pkg install lzlib` | |
| # this is the only step that required superuser privileges. | |
| # USAGE | |
| # For building at <PREFIX>/Elm-Platform/<VERSION>, run: | |
| # sh build-elm-platform-on-freebsd-11-1.sh <PREFIX> <VERSION> | |
| # SIDE EFFECTS | |
| # Blindly downloads ghc 7.10.2, keeps it beside Elm-Platform in <PREFIX> | |
| # creates a directory `work` where the script is run. | |
| # (run it inside an empty directory to avoid clobbering files) | |
| mkdir work | |
| pushd work | |
| git clone https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-platform.git | |
| wget 'https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.2/ghc-7.10.2-x86_64-portbld-freebsd.tar.xz' | |
| tar xJf ghc-7.10.2-x86_64-portbld-freebsd.tar.xz | |
| pushd ghc-7.10.2 | |
| ./configure --prefix="$1/ghc/7.10.2" | |
| gmake install | |
| popd | |
| pushd "$1" | |
| export PATH="$1/ghc/7.10.2/bin:$1/Elm-Platform/$2/.cabal-sandbox/bin:$PATH" | |
| runhaskell $OLDPWD/elm-platform/installers/BuildFromSource.hs $2 | |
| popd | |
