Installation</A></H2> <P>It follows a brief discussion of the installation from source. There is, however, a file <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> in the source distribution, which is more frequently updated and should be consulted in any case. <P> <H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1 Where is the Source?</A> </H2> <P>The master site of C->Haskell is at <A HREF="http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/c2hs/">http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/c2hs/</A>. It has all the latest information and sources. Furthermore, it explains how to get anonymous CVS access to C->Haskell's repository and may have pre-compiled binaries for easier installation. <P> <H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 What Else Do I Need?</A> </H2> <P>You need a Haskell system supported by C->Haskell. Currently this is only the <EM>Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC)</EM>, which you can obtain from <A HREF="http://haskell.org/ghc/">http://haskell.org/ghc/</A>. You need a fairly recent version of the Haskell compiler. C->Haskell uses a compiler support library called the <EM>Compiler Toolkit</EM>. In the main distribution, the Compiler Toolkit is already contained in the source tar ball -- be sure to download a file named <CODE>c2hs-</CODE><EM>x</EM><CODE>.</CODE><EM>y</EM><CODE>.</CODE><EM>z</EM><CODE>.tar.gz</CODE>, were <EM>x</EM><CODE>.</CODE><EM>y</EM><CODE>.</CODE><EM>z</EM> is the version number of the package. <P>To build the documentation, you will also need the <EM>SGML Tools</EM>, which you find at your nearest sunsite or Linux mirror or at <A HREF="ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/sgml-tools/">ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/sgml-tools/</A>. On an up-to-date Linux system, the tools are probably already installed. <P> <H2><A NAME="ss1.3">1.3 I Got Everything, and Now?</A> </H2> <P>The short answer is <BLOCKQUOTE><CODE> <PRE> % gzip -cd c2hs.X.Y.Z.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources % cd c2hs.X.Y.Z # change to the toplevel directory % ./configure # run the `configure' script % make # build everything [ Become root if necessary ] % make install # install the tool </PRE> </CODE></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>In the <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> file, there are more details. <P>Optionally, you can build the documentation by issuing <CODE>make doc</CODE>. <P> <P> <HR> <A HREF="c2hs-2.html">Next</A> Previous <A HREF="c2hs.html#toc1">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
