== Compiling GF with C run-time system support ==
The C run-time system is separate implementation of the PGF run-time services
that makes it possible to work with very large, ambiguous grammars, using
probabilistic models to obtain probable parses.
Support for calling the C run-time library is available in the web API
provided by ``gf -server``, if C run-time support is enabled.
To enable the C run-time system, first go to the ``src/runtime/c`` directory
and follow the instructions in the ``INSTALL`` file to install the C run-time
system. Once this is done, you can install GF with C run-time support by
doing
```
cabal install -fserver -fc-runtime
```
from the top directory.
== Creating .deb packages for Ubuntu ==
This has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04, and the resulting ``.deb`` packages
appears to work on Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04.
This was tested on Ubuntu 14.04 for the release of GF 3.6, and the
resulting ``.deb`` packages appears to work on Ubuntu 12.04, 13.10 and 14.04.
Under Ubuntu, Haskell executables are statically linked against other Haskell
libraries, so the .deb packages are fairly self-contained.
