-
Clone my git repository.
-
Run "make" with elevated privs so that it can install.
-
Laugh at how much work you've saved compared to the real way of getting camp.
Here's my story about my trying to actually install and use Camp.
-
Google for Camp, or Camp+Haskell. Get nothing useful in the first page or so.
-
Finally find the official page on it.
-
Stumble around the page until you find the link to their source code repository.
-
Install darcs on my computer (I normally use git instead).
-
Run
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/camp/devel/src/ camp -
Watch it 404. Swear a bit.
-
Stumble around the luckily HTTP-indexed filesystem on code.haskell.org until finding the right folder.
-
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/camp/src/ camp -
Get darcs warnings about non-cached repositories and CRC check fails.
-
Run darcs CRC fixing program, (
darcs gzcrcs) which doesn't find any issues. Swear a bit more. -
Look at the camp README.txt. See that it contains no information at all except for already well-named sub-directories are. That's alright, we're smart people, we can figure it out ourselves.
-
cd into the camp-bin directory, and attempt to run
runhaskell Setup configure. -
Watch it fail because it has dependencies on other parts of the project.
-
Try to build other parts of the project, and have that mostly fail because each of the parts has dependencies on other parts of the project. Swear a bit.
-
Write my own makefile to deal with the dependencies.
-
Start a git repo in order to put Makefile and some other utilities on the web, along with some changes to camp.
-
Go to sleep for a while.
-
Try to pull in the darcs repo into git, using someone else's git repo.
-
Realize that while you were busy sleeping, the code server on haskell.org has gone down, so you can't even retrieve the code again to test anything. Swear a bit.
-
Wait a few days for code.haskell.org to be up again.
-
Make this repository.
