BUILD AND INSTALLATION
======================
This document describes how to build, install, and test the GHCiTUI program.
GHCiTUI is configured, built, and installed through `Cabal`_. Cabal can be
installed through the ``ghcup`` command line tool. Familiarity with Cabal
is not necessary to build GHCiTUI.
------------------
Getting the source
------------------
Currently the source code is hosted on https://github.com. You can check out
the source code using ``git`` with SSH:
.. code:: shell
# SSH (for contributors, requires SSH set up)
git clone git@github.com:CrystalSplitter/ghcitui.git
Or HTTPS:
.. code:: shell
# HTTPS
git clone https://github.com/CrystalSplitter/ghcitui.git
--------
Building
--------
The GHCiTUI cabal configurations defaults to release builds in the
`cabal.project`_. Therefore, we can just run...
.. code:: shell
cabal build # Build library and executable (release mode)
cabal test # Run tests (optional)
cabal install # Per-user install (Nix-Style)
By default, this will place the ``ghcitui`` executable in
``$HOME/.cabal/bin``.
Contributors may find it useful to make their own
``cabal.project.local`` with ``cabal configure`` while debugging.
