Installing GenI

Command line interface and server

(tested on Linux, Windows, and MacOS X)

1. Install the Haskell Platform. GenI 0.24 is known to build with either haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0 and haskell-platform-2012.2.0.0. Other versions may work too.

   If you want the graphical interface, and you are on a 64-bit Mac,
   

   take the 64-bit version of the Haskell Platform.

2. Install the basic version first. If you just want the last stable release of GenI,

       cabal install GenI geniserver geni-util
   
   However, if you want to install the unstable version
   

   from source, change to the directory this README is in and

       cabal install . ./geniserver ./geni-util
   

Graphical interface

1. Install wxWidgets. If you have a 64-bit Mac, install the Cocoa interface. If you use HomeBrew on Mac, brew install wxmac should do the trick.

   GenI 0.24 has been known to work with wxWidgets 2.9.4 on MacOS X, and
   

   is expected to work on wxWidgets 2.8.x or wxWidgets 2.9.x on Linux.

2. Install wxHaskell (potentially painful)

       cabal install wx
   
   If you run into trouble here, you may need to use a development
   

   version of wxHaskell.

3. Install the graphical interface (should be easy if 2 went well)

       cabal install ./geni-gui
   

4. Try GenI (needs GenI examples files from this repository)

       cd examples/ej
       geni-gui -t trees -l lexicon -s suite
   

Development

• Darcs (MAIN) or Git (mirror)
• Issue tracker

I accept Darcs patches and GitHub pull requests. The Darcs repository might be a bit ahead of the Git one, but I'll try to keep the mirror up to date.

Style

Please follow published style guide. There is quite a bit of old code that does not follow this. Sorry. I'm slowly working on transitioning it.

Versions

• Stable version has even minor number (eg. 0.22.x)
• Development version has odd minor number (eg 0.23.yyyymmdd) Sometimes with a datestamp for major API changes in between
• NEWS file will probably mention the next release (eg. 0.24)
