Hi
I have created an application using cabal that now installs fine and runs fine on my dev machine.
I now want to deploy this application onto a separate server. This is not a webapp.
So, what kind of application is it? What are your requirements? It would certainly help to know a bit more about what you are trying to do.
Try as I might, Google will not point me in the direction of how to do this, apart from loads of links to Keter which is not what I want (there is no nginx or any other web server involved).
What have you tried searching for?
Any advice on the neatest way to do this?
It all depends. Do you want to share your app with others? Are you researching how you might deploy a Haskell app to some production scenario? GHC compiled binaries statically link haskell libraries and link against some dynamic libraries (primarily C libs). The binary can be copied between machines of the same architecture (assuming dynamically linked libraries are satisfied on the target machine). You can see runtime dependencies of your app: $ ghc --make ./Main.hs not a dynamic executable $ ldd ./Main linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff201fc000) libgmp.so.10 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007fcc42fe6000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fcc42ce5000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007fcc42adc000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fcc428d8000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fcc426c2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcc42318000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fcc420fb000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fcc43296000) For the most simple case you can just copy your app to a target machine: $ scp ./app me@host: Regards, -- Christopher Reichert irc: creichert gpg: C81D 18C8 862A 3618 1376 FFA5 6BFC A992 9955 929B
