## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-05 01:05:58 +03:00
|
|
|
Nix is installed and in your `$PATH`. This is so that `nix-store` can be used
|
|
|
|
for interacting with store paths, until `hnix-store` is ready.

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
2018-04-24 07:48:19 +03:00
|
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/haskell-nix/hnix.git
|
2016-02-08 02:53:22 +03:00
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
$ cd hnix
|
|
|
|
$ nix-shell
|
2018-04-17 08:24:06 +03:00
|
|
|
$ cabal configure --enable-tests
|
|
|
|
$ cabal build
|
|
|
|
$ cabal test
|
2018-04-12 20:28:16 +03:00
|
|
|
# To run all of the tests, which takes up to a minute:
|
2018-04-17 08:24:06 +03:00
|
|
|
$ LANGUAGE_TESTS=yes NIXPKGS_TESTS=yes cabal test
|
2018-04-03 10:33:30 +03:00
|
|
|
$ ./dist/build/hnix/hnix --help
|
2016-02-08 02:53:22 +03:00
|
|
|
```
|
2018-04-19 02:28:21 +03:00
|
|
|
## Building with full debug info
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build `hnix` for debugging, and with full tracing output and stack traces,
|
|
|
|
use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ nix-shell --arg doProfiling true
|
|
|
|
$ cabal configure --enable-tests --enable-profiling --flags=tracing
|
|
|
|
$ cabal build
|
|
|
|
$ ./dist/build/hnix/hnix -v5 <args> +RTS -xc
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this will run quite slowly, but will give the most information as to
|
|
|
|
what might potentially be going wrong during parsing or evaluation.

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ nix-shell --arg doBenchmarks true
|
2018-04-17 08:24:06 +03:00
|
|
|
$ cabal configure --enable-tests --enable-benchmarks
|
|
|
|
$ cabal build
|
|
|
|
$ cabal bench
|

## Building with profiling enabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build `hnix` with profiling enabled:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ nix-shell --arg doProfiling true
|
2018-04-17 08:24:06 +03:00
|
|
|
$ cabal configure --enable-tests --enable-profiling
|
|
|
|
$ cabal build
|
