See the [Release notes release-3.4.html]. + + +== Binary packages == + +| **Platform** | **Download** | **How to install** +| ... | ... | ... + +More packages might be added later. + +===Notes=== + +The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. +It finds the libraries relative to the ``.exe`` file. + +%The ``.deb`` packages work on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. + +%The ``.pkg`` package works on MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). +The MacOS tar package works on 10.6 (Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) +and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) + +The MacOS 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-3.4/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 the prodedure is +fairly simple: + ++ Install the [Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform] + version 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-3.4.tar.gz`` gf-3.4.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`` 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 libghc6-terminfo-dev`` +- On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-terminfo-devel`` + + +**Note 2**. +GF 3.4 does **not** compile with the most recent versions of GHC (>=7.6). +We recommend using GHC 7.4 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0). +Older versions of GHC (6.12 and 7.0) still works for the most part. +(For example, there is a issue with error reporting in ``gf -server`` +when compiled with GHC 7.0.) +%GF does **not** compile with the most recent versions of Alex (>=3.0). + +**Note 3**. +[The Haskell Platform for Mac OS X http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html] +page states that 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``. + +==Installing from the latest developer 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 +``` + +The above notes for installing from source apply also in this case. +For more info, see the [GF Developers Guide ../doc/gf-developers.html]. + +==Older releases== + +- [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]
