Installing FP Complete on C9

Setting up ghc (and hopefully eventually fpcomplete) on C9

• Starting from here: http://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html

• Downloaded ghc from here http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_6_3

• Now trying to get libgmp.so.3 by starting here -

https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-announce/2009-May/000023.html

• gmp compiles ok, C9 is 64bit, naturally, so i need to get the 64bit haskell

• just exceeded C9 quota, seems to be 1G, the 32bit ghc could be extracted but the 64bit is bigger so …

• going for Gideon’s Yesod cartridge for openshift @ http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Web/Cloud

• here is the bare bones (so far not yesod, just a bare network app) site - http://yesod-haiasko.rhcloud.com/. Deployed, it occupies like 500M of the 1G, thanks Gideon :)

Notes

• jekyll needed language env vars on C9 cuz of new version - see c9rj and c9rjsw (for setting the port and IP)

• we might be quite far away from installing an fp-complete ide on C9 or openshift. fpcomplete is making an emacs interface - https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2013/12/api-emacs.
  It requires at least a personal license and emacs 24.

• openshift doesn’t persist between rebuilds (unless you tell it to) so i’ll stick to C9 - can do all the editing there and still have a useable ghc on openshift.
