<p class="MsoNormal">The simplest way is to add the 'shake-build' folder to the GHC tree and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ask first adopters of the new build system to globally install the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">dependencies (ansi-terminal, mtl, shake, QuickCheck). Then 'build.sh'<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and 'build.bat' scripts should work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am open to suggestions on how to make this more convenient and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">robust. I've never used anything more advanced than a global cabal<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">installation, so I'd appreciate input from more experienced users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could you create a ticket on github suggesting possible approaches?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm afraid our discussion may get lost in ghc-devs mailing list.<o:p></o:p></p>
