compiler install failure

[ivan]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the compiler, so I downloaded the source, cd compiler,
cabal install, but am stuck with:

Configuring Flapjax-2.0.1...
Preprocessing executables for Flapjax-2.0.1...
Building Flapjax-2.0.1...

src/Flapjax/Compiler.hs:22:17:
Could not find module `BrownPLT.Html.Syntax':
it is a member of the hidden package `WebBits-Html-1.0'
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
Flapjax-2.0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1

Anyone knows how to solve this? My ghc is 6.10.4, system amd64 linux.

Thanks in advance
ivan

I tried to build the compiler a while ago and failed with some (maybe
different) errors, too. Seems it's a bit dated. I then turned to the
using-flapjax-as-a-js-library approach...

Cheers,

This is a software versioning issue. I think you downloaded the
version tagged as Flapjax-2.0.1.

It looks like I hadn't created a new tag on Github for our November
update. Try this bundle (it's the current source):

Thanks, this time it outputs:

cabal: cannot configure Flapjax-2.5. It requires JsContracts ==0.5.3
There is no available version of JsContracts that satisfies ==0.5.3

While only 0.5.1 seems to be available.

Ack, fixed.

If you cabal update (I think) it will download a new package list,
which should include version 0.5.3.
