== 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Under Ubuntu, Haskell executables are statically linked against other Haskell
|
||||
libraries, so the .deb packages are fairly self-contained.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Preparations ===
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
=== Creating the package ===
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure the ``debian/changelog`` starts with an entry that describes the
|
||||
version you are building. Then run
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
make deb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
== Creating .rpm packages for Fedora ==
|
||||
|
||||
This is possible, but the procedure has not been automated.
|
||||
It involves using the cabal-rpm tool,
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo yum install cabal-rpm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and following the Fedora guide
|
||||
[How to create an RPM package http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package].
|
||||
|
||||
Under Fedora, Haskell executables are dynamically linked against other Haskell
|
||||
libraries, so ``.rpm`` packages for all Haskell libraries that GF depends on
|
||||
are required. Most of them are already available in the Fedora distribution,
|
||||
but a few of them might have to be built and distributed along with
|
||||
the GF ``.rpm`` package.
|
||||
When building ``.rpm`` packages for GF 3.4, we also had to build ``.rpm``s for
|
||||
``fst`` and ``httpd-shed``.

== Running the testsuite ==

**NOTE:** The test suite has not been maintained recently, so expect many
