For the release of GF 3.7, we generated ``.deb`` packages on Ubuntu 15.04 and

Under Ubuntu, Haskell executables are statically linked against other Haskell
libraries, so the .deb packages are fairly self-contained.

Features: GF = GF shell and grammar compiler and the Resource Grammar Library,
S = ``gf -server`` mode, C = C run-time system, P = Python binding to the C run-time system
%More binary 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.
You will probably need to set the ``PATH`` and ``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment
variables, see Inari's notes on
[Installing GF on Windows http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3].
%The new experimental MINGW package is for use in the
%[MINGW http://www.mingw.org] environment in Windows. Unpack it in the MSYS shell
%(which is started with ``C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat``).
%It should work out of the box without any additional settings.
The ``.deb`` packages work on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 15.04.
The packages for Mac OS work on 10.9 (Mavericks) and on 10.10 (Yosemite).
The Mac OS 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-3.7/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 under normal
circumstances the prodedure is fairly simple:
+ Install the [Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform]
version 2013.2.0.0 or 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-3.7.tar.gz`` gf-3.7.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`` or ``.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 libghc-haskeline-dev``
- On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel``
**Note 2**.
We recommend using GHC 7.8 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0)
or GHC 7.6 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0).
Using GHC 7.4 (Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0) still works too.
%Compilation with GHC 6.12 is no longer supported, because of multiple package
%version dependency problems.
The GF source code has been updated to be compilable with GHC 7.10.1, but we
have seen cases where GF stops with the message ``gf: <<loop>>`` when running
with multiple threads (``-j +RTS -N -RTS``), so it's probably better to stick
with GHC 7.8, at least until GHC 7.10.2 is out.
**Note 3**.
[The Haskell Platform for Mac OS X http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html]
page states that on OS X 10.6 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``.
=== Known problems ===
There seems to be a bug in some versions of Cabal that can cause
```
Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs:124:8-13: Assertion failed
```
if the same version of GF is
already installed. If you encounter this, you can use ``ghc-pkg unregister gf``
to remove the installed version of GF and ``ghc-pkg list gf`` to verify that
it is gone.
==Installing from the latest developer source 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
```
Alternatively, you can get the code from the
[GF GitHub https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/] mirror, which is
updated nightly.
The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases.
For more info on working with the GF source code, see the
[GF Developers Guide ../doc/gf-developers.html].
