The short version is: $ ./configure [ --prefix=/my/installation ] [ --buildwith=xhc-4.32 ] $ make $ make install which provides you with all the components of Hat in /usr/local, [or in /my/installation if you used the --prefix= option]. If you want slightly more control, try $ make help which will give you a list of individual build targets. ********************************************************************** **** Full details of the install process are in docs/install.html **** ********************************************************************** System requirements: The build requires GNU make and a C compiler (usually gcc) together with the usual tools of the UNIX environment, such as sh, ar, sed, etc. You also need a host Haskell compiler, and in particular, write-access to its package directories.
