Installing
Requirements: Chez Scheme (with threading support) and bash. On a Mac, you
will need to install coreutils
to have access to realpath
- you can
do this with brew install coreutils
.
0: Fix hard coded prefix (sorry)
This isn't easily configurable yet - I will deal with it soon. So, before you start:
- Change the
prefix
which is currently hard coded inIdris.Main
.
1a: Installing without an existing Idris 2
If you don't have Idris-2-in-Idris-1 installed, you can still build a bootstrapping compiler, as long as you have Chez Scheme installed. This is a bit more fiddly than if you have Idris 2 installed (for the moment) but you only have to do it once.
To begin, enter:
make init-bootstrap SCHEME=scheme
(scheme
is the executable name of the Chez Scheme compiler. You may need to
replace this with the executable for Chez Scheme on your system. This could be
chez
, chezscheme
or chezscheme9.5
or something else, depending on your
system and the Chez Scheme version).
This builds an Idris 2 compiler from scheme code output from a working Idris 2 compiler (which isn't necessarily up to date, but is up to date enough to build the current repository).
Then, to build the libraries using this generated compiler, again using your
local variant for scheme
.
make libs SCHEME=scheme
make install
1b: Installing with an existing Idris 2
If you have Idris-2-in-Idris-1 installed:
make all && make install
2: Self-hosting step
Then, to build from the newly installed idris2sh
make clean
-- to make sure you're building everything with the new versionmake all IDRIS_BOOT=idris2sh && make install
For amusement, try using time
on the above. I get about 3m for installing
from idris2
, and about 1m45 for installing from idris2sh
.
