Followed the instructions over here: http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git-annex_on_OSX/
|
|
|
|
and had to install the following extra packages to be able to get make to start:
|
|
|
|
[realizes pcre-light is needed but pcre not installed on my mac]
|
|
sudo port install pcre
|
|
sudo cabal install pcre-light
|
|
|
|

But then I got the following error:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ghc -O2 -Wall --make git-annex
|
|
[ 7 of 52] Compiling BackendTypes ( BackendTypes.hs, BackendTypes.o

|
|
|
BackendTypes.hs:71:17:
|
|
No instance for (Arbitrary Char)
|
|
arising from a use of `arbitrary' at BackendTypes.hs:71:17-25
|
|
Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Arbitrary Char)
|
|
In a stmt of a 'do' expression: backendname <- arbitrary
|
|
In the expression:
|
|
do backendname <- arbitrary
|
|
keyname <- arbitrary
|
|
return $ Key (backendname, keyname)
|
|
In the definition of `arbitrary':
|
|
arbitrary = do backendname <- arbitrary
|
|
keyname <- arbitrary
|
|
return $ Key (backendname, keyname)
|
|

My knowledge of Haskell (had to lookup the spelling...) is more than rudimentary so any help would be appreciated.

Closing this bug because the above problem now has a solution documented on
|
|
the install page, and the below test suite failure problems should all be
|
|
resolved on OSX. [[done]] --[[Joey]]
