pandoc from cabal / MacPorts ?

[Christian Maeder]

I'll CC this to glasgow-haskell-users at haskell.org in case someone else
has the same problem.

1. Download
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pandoc/1.0.0.1/pandoc-1.0.0.1.tar.gz
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/zip-archive/0.1.1/zip-archive-0.1.1.tar.gz

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/utf8-string/0.3.1.1/utf8-string-0.3.1.1.tar.gz
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/zlib/0.4.0.4/zlib-0.4.0.4.tar.gz
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/binary/0.4.3.1/binary-0.4.3.1.tar.gz

And install all this packages in reverse order (the last 3 packages are
independent)

2. Alternatively you can first install
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/cabal-install/0.5.2/cabal-install-0.5.2.tar.gz
(versions 0.5.1 or 0.6 will work, too)
after installing a further version of Cabal
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Cabal/1.4.0.2/Cabal-1.4.0.2.tar.gz
and
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/HTTP/3001.1.3/HTTP-3001.1.3.tar.gz
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/zlib/0.4.0.4/zlib-0.4.0.4.tar.gz

Once you have cabal, installing is much easier (just "cabal install
pandoc").

Installing one of the above *.tar.gz packages works as follows:

tar zxf <package-name>.tar.gz
cd <package-name>
ghc --make Setup.*
./Setup configure
./Setup build
./Setup install
cd ..

(This Setup.* is either Setup.hs or Setup.lhs)

You may supply a "--prefix=/opt/local" to ./Setup configure.

Cheers Christian
