What's new? See the [Release notes release-3.6.html]. == Binary packages == || Platform | Download | Features | How to install | Mac OS X | [gf-3.6.pkg gf-3.6.pkg] | //GF+S+C// | Double-click on the package icon | Mac OS X | [gf-3.6-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz gf-3.6-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz] | //GF+S+C+P// | ``sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxf gf-3.6-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz`` %| Fedora (32-bit) | [Fedora RPMs /~hallgren/tmp/Fedora/] | //GF+S+C+P// | ``sudo rpm -i ...`` | Ubuntu (32-bit) | [gf_3.6-1_i386.deb gf_3.6-1_i386.deb] | //GF+S+C+P// | ``sudo dpkg -i gf_3.6-1_i386.deb`` | Ubuntu (64-bit) | [gf_3.6-1_amd64.deb gf_3.6-1_amd64.deb] | //GF+S+C+P// | ``sudo dpkg -i gf_3.6-1_amd64.deb`` | Windows | [gf-3.6-bin-windows.zip gf-3.6-bin-windows.zip] | //GF+S// | ``unzip gf-3.6-bin-windows.zip`` | MINGW | [gf-3.6-bin-i686-MINGW32_NT-6.1.tar.gz gf-3.6-bin-i686-MINGW32_NT-6.1.tar.gz] | //GF+S+C// | ``tar -C / gf-3.6-bin-i686-MINGW32_NT-6.1.tar.gz`` %| ... | ... | | ... Features: GF = GF shell and grammar compiler and the Resource Grammar Library, S = ``gf -server`` mode, C = C run-time system, P = Python binding to the C run-time system %More binary packages might be added later. ===Notes=== The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. %It finds the libraries relative to the ``.exe`` file. You will probably need to set the ``PATH`` and ``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment variables, see Inari's notes on [Installing GF on Windows http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3]. The new experimental MINGW package is for use in the [MINGW http://www.mingw.org] environment in Windows. Unpack it in the MSYS shell (which is started with ``C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat``). It should work out of the box without any additional settings. The ``.deb`` packages work on Ubuntu 12.04, 13.10 and 14.04. The packages for Mac OS work on 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and on 10.9 (Mavericks). The Mac OS and Linux ``.tar.gz`` packages are designed to be installed in ``/usr/local``. You can install them in other locations, but then you need to set the ``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment variable: ``` export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.6/lib ``` where ``/usr/local`` should be replaced with the path to the location where you unpacked the package. ==Installing the latest release from source== [GF is on Hackage http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf], so under normal circumstances the prodedure is fairly simple: + Install the [Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform] version 2013.2.0.0 or 2012.4.0.0 (see notes 2&3 below) + ``cabal update`` + On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution (see note 1 below) + ``cabal install gf`` You can also download the full source package from here: [``gf-3.6.tar.gz`` gf-3.6.tar.gz]. === Notes === The above steps installs GF for a single user. % and does not require root privileges. The executables are put in ``$HOME/.cabal/bin`` (or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform on Mac OS X, in ``$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin``), so it is a good idea to put a line in your ``.bash_profile`` or ``.profile`` to add that directory to you path: ``` PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH ``` or ``` PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH ``` **Note 1**. GF uses [``haskeline`` http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline], which on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that won't be installed automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed manually. Here is one way to do this: - On Ubuntu: ``sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev`` - On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel`` **Note 2**. We recommend using GHC 7.6 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0) or GHC 7.4 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0). Using GHC 7.0 will probably still work for the most part (but there is an issue with error reporting in ``gf -server`` when compiled with GHC 7.0). Compilation with GHC 6.12 is no longer supported, because of multiple package version dependency problems. The GF source code has been updated to be compilable with GHC 7.8, unlike the [cgi http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cgi] package on Hackage, which is needed to compile GF with ``gf -server`` mode support. If you want to compile GF with GHC 7.8 and need ``gf -server`` mode, there is [a patched version of the cgi package on github https://github.com/jhenahan/haskell-cgi] that you can install instead of the version on Hackage. **Note 3**. [The Haskell Platform for Mac OS X http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html] page states that you need Xcode 3.2 or later, but in fact it appears you need Xcode 3.2.3 or later. If you have Xcode 3.2.2, you can get an error from the linker: ``ld: unknown option: -no_pie``. === Known problems === There seems to be a bug in some versions of Cabal that can cause ``` Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs:124:8-13: Assertion failed ``` if the same version of GF is already installed. If you encounter this, you can use ``ghc-pkg unregister gf`` to remove the installed version of GF and ``ghc-pkg list gf`` to verify that it is gone. ==Installing from the latest developer source code== The first time: %, assuming you already have the Haskell Platform and darcs ``` darcs get --lazy http://www.grammaticalframework.org/ GF cd GF cabal install ``` Subsequently: ``` cd GF darcs pull -a cabal install ``` Alternatively, you can get the code from the [GF GitHub https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/] mirror, which is updated nightly. The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases.
