"Majestic" C Runtime

Requirements

Debian/Ubuntu

Required system packages (apt install ...):

autoconf
automake
libtool
make
g++

macOS

• Install XCode from App Store
• Install XCode command line tools: xcode-select --install
• Required system packages (brew install ...):

autoconf
automake
libtool

Windows

• Install MSYS2
• MSYS2 provides two shells MSYS2 MSYS and MSYS2 MinGW. Open MSYS2 MinGW.
• Use pacman to install additional packages:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-libtool

Installation

Note for macOS: you should first run glibtoolize, followed by the commands below.

autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install

The shared libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib. You can instead use:

Using

• Compiling GF with this runtime will require flag --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib.
• Running GF with this runtime will require environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

This can be avoided by configuring the C runtime with:

./configure --prefix=/usr

On Windows, the easiest way to let GHC know about the library is to use:

./configure --prefix=<GHC-root-directory>/mingw

after that move libpgf-0.dll from <GHC-root-directory>/mingw/bin to <GHC-root-directory>/bin.

Uninstalling

To remove the old C runtime from your system, do:

rm /usr/local/lib/libpgf.*
rm /usr/local/lib/libgu.*
rm /usr/local/lib/libsg.*
rm -rf /usr/local/include/pgf

To remove this version of the runtime from your system, do:

rm /usr/local/lib/libpgf.*
rm -rf /usr/local/include/pgf

To clean all generated build files from this directory, use:

git clean -Xdf
