README

   1 MateVM is i686 only, at the moment.
   2
   3 == DEPENDENCIES ==
   4 === GHC ===
   5 install GHC via your distro manager. make sure you install
   6 it with shared libaries.
   7 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS it is:
   8         $ sudo apt-get install ghc-dynamic
   9
  10 for an "easy" installation of the remaining packages, you can use
  11 the script "./tools/installhaskellenv.sh".
  12 note, that it deletes your ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc directory first.
  13
  14
  15 === HARPY ===
  16         $ cabal install harpy --enable-shared
  17
  18 if this fails (e.g. you use ghc >= 7.0) then try our patched version:
  19         $ git clone git://wien.tomnetworks.com/harpy.git
  20         $ cd harpy
  21         $ cabal configure --enable-shared
  22         $ cabal build
  23         $ cabal install --enable-shared
  24
  25
  26 === HS-JAVA ===
  27 for `hs-java' a patched build is needed:
  28         $ git clone git://wien.tomnetworks.com/hs-java.git
  29         $ cd hs-java
  30         $ git checkout -t origin/v0.2
  31         $ cabal configure --enable-shared
  32         $ cabal build
  33         $ cabal install --enable-shared
  34 hint: for some unknown reason yet, it seems building from source will be easier
  35 if you first install `hs-java' via cabal (like `harpy' above)
  36
  37
  38 === MISC ===
  39         $ cabal install missingh --enable-shared
  40         $ cabal install heap --enable-shared
  41         $ cabal install plugins --enable-shared
  42
  43
  44 == NOTE ==
  45 unfortunately, many haskell libaries arn't tested very well, so building
  46 libraries from hackage can be a very painful trip.
  47
  48 some system configurations we had success building all required
  49 libraries (yes, no x86_64 so far!):
