Building from source ==================== First, make sure the Haskell Platform is installed, preferably along with the Gtk+ bindings for Haskell. On Debian-flavoured systems: sudo apt-get install haskell-platform libghc-gtk-dev If you can't get the Haskell Platform via your package manager, see . If you can't get the Gtk+ binding for Haskell via your package manager, you'll need to run: cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools and ensure that ~/.cabal/bin is in your PATH before continuing. Got that? Great! export PREFIX=/opt/bustle # Build and install Bustle itself. cabal install --prefix=$PREFIX # Build and install the stand-alone logger binary. make install PREFIX=$PREFIX If the Haskell Platform is not available on the platform you want to do some D-Bus profiling on, that's fine: the logger is written in C, and you can view logs generated on your fancy embedded hardware on your more pedestrian Linux laptop. The logger depends on a few widely-available libraries: sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libpcap-dev
