What is the exact command to get the relevant ghc sources.
First, make sure that your installed GHC is *not* a snapshot distribution, but
one of the main releases (such as 7.6.1 or 7.6.2). You may also want to check
out http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation to make sure
you have all the needed software. Then, go somewhere convenient on your
computer, and run this (assuming Linux/Mac OS):
git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git; cd ghc; ./sync-all --testsuite get;
perl boot; ./configure; make
Thanks, for this. Do I need to give a branch name (which one?) to the
"git clone" command (option -b)?
C.
At the end of that (will probably take about an hour), you will have ghc available in
<your convenient location>/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2
I believe you can use a --with-ghc=... option to cabal to install packages with
an uninstalled ghc. Or, you could use a --prefix=... option to ./configure,
above, and then run `make install` after building.
I hope this helps!
