Comment(by simonpj):
I get this
{{{
bash$ cabal install
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring PortMidi-0.1.3...
cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: asound
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
Euterpea-0.1.0 depends on PortMidi-0.1.3 which failed to install.
PortMidi-0.1.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
}}}
Your response could be "install asound" but I have no clue how to do that,
and I only want to compile the thing! Can you tell me how to build up to
the error you found, without installing lots of goop? Thanks!
If there are any other weird non-Haskell packages I'd like to avoid them
too if poss.
