manatee

Manatee is Haskell integrated environment written in Haskell. The goal of the Manatee project is to provide a fast, safe and flexible integrated environment for haskell hacking. You can consider it is new environment mix Gnome and Emacs. Like Gnome to provide friendly graphics interface and work efficient like Emacs. Manatee use multi-processes framework, any sub-module running in separate process to protected core won't crash. So it minimize your losses when some unexpected exception throw in extension.

In Debian system, you just need do below command: This step is optional, it's okay use ld link program, just much slow. :) 2) Install GHC compiler http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_0_3: Download ghc package for your system, then do below command : 3) Install C library: In Debian use below command: 4) Install cabal: Download http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/cabal-install/0.10.2/cabal-install-0.10.2.tar.gz Decompress cabal-install-0.10.2.tar.gz and do below command: 5) Install dependent Haskell library: First make sure HOME/.cabal/bin/ in your PATH Generic way is add PATH=$PATH:~\/.cabal\/bin in your ~/.bashrc Then do below command (NOTE: don't use root permission with cabal, otherwise Manatee can't work): 6) Install Manatee: Install all Manatee packages (same, don't use root permission): If you don't want install all Manatee packages, you can install basic package like below: Then choose extension package list in below to install: Note if you don't install any extension package, nothing will show in manatee, so you at least to choose one extension to install. That's all, then type command manatee to play it! :) I have test, Manatee can works well in Gnome, KDE, XMonad and XFCE Video (Select 720p HD) at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weS6zys3U8k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3DgKDVkyeM http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjI2MDMzODI4.html Screenshots at : http://goo.gl/MkVw Manual at : http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Manatee IRC channel: irc.freenode.net 6667 ##manatee Mailing-List: manatee-user@googlegroups.com manatee-develop@googlegroups.com Manatee is distributed framework, it allowed you install extension don't need depend each other, but it's easy to break if some package is older than core packages (manatee-core, manatee). So please make sure *all* packages has update to newest version before you report bug to manatee-user@googlegroups.com . Thanks! :)
