Darcs ===== This is the source tree for darcs, a distributed version control system written in Haskell. For more information, visit the darcs web site: http://www.darcs.net Compilation and Installation ============================ Building Darcs requires GHC, version 6.10.3 or higher. It also requires the Cabal package, version 1.6 or higher. The cabal-install package is also recommended. If you have the "cabal-install" package on your system (that is, there is a "cabal" executable in your path), you can use the following command to create an executable in ~/.cabal/bin/darcs (this will also automatically fetch and build dependencies from the Hackage server). $ cabal update $ cabal install Otherwise, if you have the "cabal" package but not the "cabal-install" package, run the following: $ runghc Setup configure $ runghc Setup build $ sudo runghc Setup install You may also omit the last step and copy the darcs executable (found in dist/build/darcs/darcs) to a location of your choosing. More detailed instructions can be found at including instructions on obtaining a copy of cabal-install. Please also note that the cabal-based build by default requires the cURL library (and development headers). If, for some reason, you cannot provide cURL, please pass "-f-curl" to the configure step above.
