=== Installation ===
  
−  
−
* First look to the general information in the Manual
  
−  
−
* When you get the following error:
  
−
<code>src/IDE/Completion.hs:87:26:
  
−
Not in scope: `sourceLanguageManagerGuessLanguage'</code>
  
−  
−
you have to install gtksourceview2 in a version > 2.4.0
  
−  
−
* When you get the following error:
  
−
<code>Linking dist/build/leksah/leksah ...
  
−
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ledit
  
−
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status</code>
  
−  
−
you have to install libedit development files.
  
−  
−
* The package type-level considered toxic!
  
−
This package defines > 20000 newtypes for numbers and
  
−
wastes a lot of space for metadata. So consider to
  
−
unregister it, if you don't really need it.

=== Release notes ===

Moved to the [http://leksah.org/ Leksah] webside

=== Installation on Windows from scratch ===
  
−  
−
In the future when Leksah reaches production quality I hope we can provide a Windows installer.

0. <tt>cabal-install</tt> was not working for me. Probably because currently there is no gtk2hs >= 0.10.0 on Hackage right now.
  
−  
−
1. Install your GHC from http://www.haskell.org/ghc. Duh. Mine was GHC 6.10.1.
 
−  
−
2. Install gtk2hs from http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ or [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=49207&package_id=42440 Sourceforge.net]. It was 0.10.0 when I checked.
  
−  
−
3. Install Cygwin with the online installer from http://www.cygwin.com/
  
−
Select packages wget, curl and gcc-core in adition to the standard selection. I used the 1.7.0 version of Cygwin setup, but it is still beta.
  
−  
−
4*. Download darcs from http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/Binaries, unpack it in under Program Files and add the path to your environment variables. The file I downloaded was darcsdir-cygwin-2.2.0.tar.bz2.
 
−  
−
5. Download the GHC sources from http://www.haskell.org/ghc. Open a Cygwin shell, make a directory Haskell, copy the source tarballs here and unpack them.
 
−  
−
6*. Download the binary and utf-8 packages from [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html Hackage] and copy them to the Haskell folder. Open a Cygwin shell in Administrator mode and unpack the tar files. Go to the directories and do <tt>runhaskell Setup configure</tt>, <tt>runhaskell Setup build</tt>, <tt>runhaskell Setup install</tt>.
 
−  
−
7*. In the Haskell directory do a <tt>darcs get http://code.haskell.org/leksah</tt>. Go to the leksah directory and do a <tt>runhaskell Setup configure</tt>, <tt>runhaskell Setup build</tt>, <tt>runhaskell Setup install</tt>.
 
−  
−
7a) Although I probably didn't get this, previously some gtk error message was resolved by editting C:/Program Files/Gtk2Hs/0.10.0/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change the theme name from MS-Windows to Raleigh: <tt>gtk-theme-name = "Raleigh"</tt>
  
−  
−
8. You may wish to install a full Unicode monospace font if you want to use the source candy feature of leksah. e.g. [http://www.evertype.com/emono/ Everson Mono] or [http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download Deja Vu Sans Mono] (or perhaps the [http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/ GNU FreeFont]s which are aesthetically pleasing to my eyes).
  
−  
−
9. Start leksah and give your Haskell directory as source root. Select the right font from Help/Prefs.
 
−
 
−
10. Have fun with leksah, but remember it is a beta version!
  
−  
−
NB* I actually experienced a bit of a problem here, darcs was taking too much time. While in Cygwin, I cabal-installed it! Voila! So the starred portions are actually unnecessary, I think.

=== Installation for Ubuntu ===
  
−  
−
==== version 0.6 in Ubuntu 9.04 ====
  
−  
−
Built in Ubuntu 9.04 using GHC 6.10.3 from
 
−
[https://launchpad.net/~someone561/+archive/ppa Someone561's PPA]. cabal-install was bootstrapped using original ghc from the distribution, because of
  
−
dependency problems. GHC 6.10.3 was installed afterwards.
  
−  
−
===== Install cabal-install from [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall CabalInstall] =====
  
−
===== Upgrade GHC to 6.10.3 =====
  
−
===== Install gtk2hs =====
  
−
$ sudo aptitude build-deb libghc6-gtk-dev
  
−
$ sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libcairo2-dev checkinstall
  
−  
−
in gtk2hs sources:
  
−  
−
$ ./configure
  
−
$ make
  
−
$ checkinstall
  
−  
−
(say 'n' to question about making docs. checkinstall makes a deb package gtk2hs that could be easily uninstalled - normally you could do make install)
  
−  
−
===== Install Leksah using cabal =====
  
−  
−
$ cd ~/.cabal/bin
  
−
$ ./cabal update
  
−
$ ./cabal install leksah
  
−
Resolving dependencies...
  
−
cabal: cannot configure regex-compat-0.92. It requires regex-base >=0.93
  
−
For the dependency on regex-base >=0.93 there are these packages:
  
−
regex-base-0.93 and regex-base-0.93.1. However none of them are available.
  
−
regex-base-0.93 was excluded because regex-base-0.72.0.2 was selected instead
  
−
regex-base-0.93 was excluded because leksah-0.6.0 requires regex-base ==0.72.0.2
  
−
regex-base-0.93.1 was excluded because regex-base-0.72.0.2 was selected instead
  
−
regex-base-0.93.1 was excluded because leksah-0.6.0 requires regex-base 0.72.0.2
  
−  
−
to solve dependency problems, download [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/leksah-0.6.0 leksah-0.6] archive from hackage, decompress and change in leksah.cabal:
  
−  
−
regex-posix ==0.72.0.3, regex-compat ==0.71.0.1,
  
−  
−
then in the same directory do
  
−  
−
$ ~/.cabal/bin/cabal install
  
−  
−
===== running the IDE =====
  
−  
−
Leksah should now work. If you have problems running with config from older version, consider removing the old configuration:
  
−  
−
$ rm ~/.leksah -r
  
−  
−
To start the IDE:
  
−  
−
$ export PATH=$PATH:~/.cabal/bin
  
−
$ leksah
  
−  
−
==== version 0.4.4.1 in Ubuntu 8.10 ====
  
−  
−
Hello, I've installed Leksah 0.4.4.1 today in Ubuntu 8.10. This
 
−
procedure is based on the one given in the manual, but uses GHC 6.10.2.
 
−
Hope it will be useful. (Maciej Noszczyński)
