How to install/develop?

[Jeff Johnson]

Hi! What's currently the best way to install Hoodle? I'm just interested as a migrating Xournal user for now, but if/when I get some free time I might also want to do some hacking. Probably just with the xmonad-like Haskell hooks at first, which sound like a great idea! Anyway, I tried `cabal install`ing:

jefdaj@acro:/git/hac$ cabal get hoodle
Unpacking to hoodle-0.3/
jefdaj@acro:/git/hac$ cd hoodle-0.3/
jefdaj@acro:/git/hac/hoodle-0.3$ cabal sandbox init
Writing a default package environment file to
/git/hac/hoodle-0.3/cabal.sandbox.config
Creating a new sandbox at /git/hac/hoodle-0.3/.cabal-sandbox
jefdaj@acro:/git/hac/hoodle-0.3$ cabal install

Then I tried the build script in the main git repo:

Dependency tree exhaustively searched.

Note: when using a sandbox, all packages are required to have consistent
dependencies. Try reinstalling/unregistering the offending packages or
recreating the sandbox.

What next? Should I go back to an older commit, or maybe build the subfolders individually, or try different versions of the failing dependencies? If I can get it working I'd be happy to do a pull request updating the build script or `cabal freeze`ing it with working dependencies.

Oh ignore the last section of the first install attempt. I accidentally pasted it twice.

[Greg Weber]

Hi Jeff,

What you want to do is narrow down the output to which packages actually failed to install. When the output states "depends on", that means the package to the left was never even attempted to install. When you find a package that actually failed to install, you can try to look at the build log for it. If you can't find the build log, you can try to install that specific version (foo-1.3.4) of the package that failed to install and you should get useful output.

What is your OS and version of GHC?

Sorry just saw this for some reason. Pretty long log of attempts follows. I did:

cabal sandbox init
cat sources.txt | cut -c3- | while read d; do cabal sandbox add-source $d; done
cabal install hoodle -j2

This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.

So I tried a couple more versions of cairo and a couple of profunctors. Also installed gtk2hs-buildtools and c2hs. I think the problem is narrowed down to cairo, which won't build even in its own sandbox. I'm on Debian Jessie with GHC 7.6.3. It complains about gtk2hsC2hs:

Guess the Debian version is too old? It's:

C->Haskell Compiler, version 0.13.9 (gtk2hs branch) "Bin IO", 27 May 2012

I can't find a version of cairo that will build with it. I also tried installing all the libghc-cairo* packages which didn't help.

Good job narrowing it down! The profunctors error is weird, you may have to reinstall your sandbox to fix that. You should focus on the gtk install issue instead. Here is what came up on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10197712/how-to-upgrade-gtk2hsc2hs

[Jeff Johnson]

Thanks! Didn't occur to me that there's a cabal package too. Installed that and also needed glib-0.13.0.4. Now I'm just down to that weird profunctors problem:

Did you try wiping out your sandbox and starting over? rm -r .cabal-sandbox && cabal sandbox init

[Jeff Johnson]

Yeah tried that and purging + reinstalling haskell-platform and my global database too. (That was overdue as I hadn't done it since sandboxes came out) One other thing I could try is doing it on my laptop. They're both Debian but something subtle might be different. Or just waiting a couple days. That worked when I had issues building gitit. Doesn't have to work every time, just once and then you can freeze it!
