GenI realiser

The latest GenI release is 0.17.3.

GenI can be installed either with or without a GUI. We strongly recommend doing the installation in two phases, first without the GUI and second with. The GUI can be a bit tricky to install, so this two-phase approach should at least get you up and running with a console version fairly quickly.

Installing without GUI

1. Install GHC 6.8.x binary from GHC site (also known to work with GHC 6.10.1)
2. Install cabal-install
3. cabal update
4. cabal install cabal-install
5. cabal install GenI --flags="-gui"
6. make sure ${HOME}/.cabal/bin is in your path
7. make sure it works
   • geni --unit-test
   • geni -m examples/ej/macros -l examples/ej/lexicon -s examples/ej/suite
   • geni --help for more details

Installing with GUI

1. Please make sure you can install GenI without the GUI first.
   • If you do not succeed at installing without the GUI, stop and ask for help!
   • Doing so will help us to refine our install instructions, and most importantly save you a lot of time!
2. Install graphviz
3. Install wxWidgets 2.6 (see notice below)
   • Note - either use
     • wxWidgets 2.6 with wxhaskell 0.10.3 OR
     • wxWidgets 2.8 with wxhaskell 0.11 (don't mix versions)
4. Install wxcore and wx 0.10.3 by hand
   • http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/wxcore/0.10.3/wxcore-0.10.3.tar.gz
   • http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/wx/0.10.3/wx-0.10.3.tar.gz
   • for each one: runhaskell Setup configure; runhaskell Setup build; sudo runhaskell Setup install
   • while wx 0.10.3 is the last known working version, wx 0.11 appears to work for some people... if you can get that working, even better!
5. cabal install GenI --flags=gui
6. On MacOS X:
   • cd ~/.cabal/bin; macosx-app geni
   • make sure ${HOME}/.cabal/bin/geni.app/Contents/MacOS is in your path, before ${HOME}/.cabal/bin
   • Contact us on the MailingList? if you need extra help.

Bleeding-edge GenI

Note that this uses the hashed repository format, which requires a darcs 2 client.

darcs get --lazy http://code.haskell.org/GenI

The instructions are the same as above, except that instead of invoking cabal install GenI, you invoke cd GenI; cabal install passing in the relevant flags.
