BUILD.md

Synopsis of build instructions:

1. Use find-bindist to download a GHC bindist:

    $ ./find-bindist apple
    ... url displayed ...
    $ wget ...url...
   

2. If necessary, build cabal version >= 1.24:

    $ cabal get cabal-install-1.24.0.0
    $ cd cabal-install-1.24.0.0
    $ cabal sandbox init
    $ cabal install --only-dependencies
    $ cabal install
    $ cp ./dist/dist-sandbox-.../build/cabal/cabal /usr/local/bin/cabal
   

3. Use platform-init to initialize the config.platform file:

    $ ./platform-init
   

   Make sure the version of cabal is >= 1.24. Edit entries as needed.

4. Run ./new-platform.sh

    $ ./new-platform.sh build-all
    $ ./new-platform.sh build-website
   

   The website files reside in build/product/website.

5. In a new terminal, start up the python server:

    $ ./server ./build/product/website 12345
   

   You can leave this running - it will track changes as you re-build the website.
