Adding DPH to HEAD

[Colin Paul Adams]

I tried following the advice on the DPH wiki:

./sync-all --dph get

This wouldn't run because of permissions, so I tried putting sh in
front of the command. This produced a lot of error messages:

./sync-all: line 3: use: command not found
./sync-all: line 4: use: command not found
./sync-all: line 8: git: command not found
./sync-all: line 8: my: command not found
./sync-all: line 8: chomp: command not found
./sync-all: line 9: git: command not found
./sync-all: line 9: my: command not found
./sync-all: line 9: chomp: command not found
./sync-all: line 10: git: command not found
./sync-all: line 10: my: command not found
./sync-all: line 10: chomp: command not found
./sync-all: line 12: my: command not found
./sync-all: line 13: my: command not found
./sync-all: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
./sync-all: line 15: `if ($defaultrepo =~ /^...*:/) {'

Following a suggestion from Simon Marlow, I instead tried:

./darcs-all --dph get

which was more successful. Does the wiki page need updating?

But when I then typed

make

I got:

<snip>

they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they
can be used.

make[1]: *** [with-bootstrapping-compiler.installPackage] Error 2

make: *** [stage1] Error 2

What do I do in such circumstances? I tried a

cabal install Cabal --rebuild

which seemed to work OK, but when i type 

make

again i get the same error as before.
