Unpack it in the MSYS shell -%(which is started with ``C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat``). -%It should work out of the box without any additional settings. - -The ``.deb`` packages work on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 15.04. - -The packages for Mac OS work on 10.9 (Mavericks) and on 10.10 (Yosemite). - -The Mac OS and Linux ``.tar.gz`` packages are designed to be installed in -``/usr/local``. -You can install them in other locations, but then you need to set the -``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment variable: - -``` - export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.7/lib -``` - -where ``/usr/local`` should be replaced with the path to the location where you -unpacked the package. - - -==Installing the latest release from source== - -[GF is on Hackage http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf], so under normal -circumstances the prodedure is fairly simple: - -+ Install the [Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform] - version 2013.2.0.0 or 2012.4.0.0 (see notes 2&3 below) -+ ``cabal update`` -+ On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution - (see note 1 below) -+ ``cabal install gf`` - - -You can also download the full source package from here: -[``gf-3.7.tar.gz`` gf-3.7.tar.gz]. - -=== Notes === - -The above steps installs GF for a single user. -% and does not require root privileges. -The executables are put in ``$HOME/.cabal/bin`` -(or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform on Mac OS X, -in ``$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin``), so it is a good -idea to put a line in your ``.bash_profile`` or ``.profile`` -to add that directory to you path: - -``` - PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH -``` -or -``` - PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH -``` - -**Note 1**. -GF uses [``haskeline`` http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline], which -on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that -won't be installed automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed -manually. Here is one way to do this: - -- On Ubuntu: ``sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev`` -- On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel`` - - -**Note 2**. -We recommend using GHC 7.8 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0) -or GHC 7.6 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0). -Using GHC 7.4 (Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0) still works too. -%Compilation with GHC 6.12 is no longer supported, because of multiple package -%version dependency problems. - -The GF source code has been updated to be compilable with GHC 7.10.1, but we -have seen cases where GF stops with the message ``gf: <<loop>>`` when running -with multiple threads (``-j +RTS -N -RTS``), so it's probably better to stick -with GHC 7.8, at least until GHC 7.10.2 is out. - -**Note 3**. -[The Haskell Platform for Mac OS X http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html] -page states that on OS X 10.6 you need Xcode 3.2 or later, but in fact it appears you need -Xcode 3.2.3 or later. If you have Xcode 3.2.2, you can get an error from the -linker: ``ld: unknown option: -no_pie``. - -=== Known problems === - -There seems to be a bug in some versions of Cabal that can cause - -``` - Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs:124:8-13: Assertion failed -``` - -if the same version of GF is -already installed. If you encounter this, you can use ``ghc-pkg unregister gf`` -to remove the installed version of GF and ``ghc-pkg list gf`` to verify that -it is gone. - -==Installing from the latest developer source code== - -The first time: -%, assuming you already have the Haskell Platform and darcs - -``` - darcs get --lazy http://www.grammaticalframework.org/ GF - cd GF - cabal install -``` - -Subsequently: - -``` - cd GF - darcs pull -a - cabal install -``` - -Alternatively, you can get the code from the -[GF GitHub https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/] mirror, which is -updated nightly. - -The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases. -For more info on working with the GF source code, see the -[GF Developers Guide ../doc/gf-developers.html]. - -==Older releases== - -- [GF 3.6 index-3.6.html] (June 2014) -- [GF 3.5 index-3.5.html] (August 2013) -- [GF 3.4 index-3.4.html] (January 2013). -- [GF 3.3.3 index-3.3.3.html] (March 2012). -- [GF 3.3 index-3.3.html] (October 2011). -- [GF 3.2.9 index-3.2.9.html] source-only snapshot (September 2011). -- [GF 3.2 index-3.2.html] (December 2010). -- [GF 3.1.6 index-3.1.6.html] (April 2010). -- [GF 3.1 old-index.html] (December 2009). - - --------------------- - -[www.grammaticalframework.org http://www.grammaticalframework.org] |
