Re: [Haskell-cafe] Building Yi (and wider Cabal stuff)

Michael T. Richter:

I'm trying to build Yi (from the darcs repository) to take a look at it.

I tried that, too, and it seems to me that if you use a different GHC version than the developers have, you're very likely to be struck. (Now how will I know what version they use?)

The README that comes with it says "it's a standard Cabal project so do what you normally do" (paraphrased slightly).

That seems to be a README bug. The following steps seem to be necessary: cd packages/yi-lib/ runghc Setup.hs configure runghc Setup.hs build sudo runghc Setup.hs install cd ../.. runghc Setup.hs configure runghc Setup.hs build You will need specific filepath and Vty libraries, as stated in the Readme.
