In order to learn how to do that, I practiced by installing the ever-important HNOP package. After a few tries, I found that the following sequence of commands works:
./Setup.hs configure --prefix=/usr ./Setup.hs build sudo ./Setup.hs install
But similar commands for Haskore do not fair as well. The configure command fails with the following error:
Setup.lhs: cannot satisfy dependency Hsc-any
This belongs to a SuperCollider wrapper: http://www.slavepianos.org/rd/f/409875/ You don't need to install that wrapper, if you do not want to use SuperCollider. In this case remove the Hsc dependency and the SuperCollider modules from Haskore.cabal. I would like to tell Cabal which modules are required and which are supported, or recommended, but not needed. I could split Haskore into several packages, but then again, installation of Haskore and its sub-packages becomes uncomfortable and the Haddock documentation has no longer a common table of contents. I tried to write custom Setup code for finding out which parts of Haskore cannot be installed due to unsatisfied dependencies, but this is more complicated than I hoped.
