Installation of PCG

Getting the source code

The source code for PCG can be obtained in a number of ways. It is publicly hosted on GitHub which it can be freely downloaded. You can find the source code of the latest release here. Alternatively, you can dowload the source code and checkout the latest release using git.

git clone https://github.com/amnh/PCG 
cd PCG
git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)) # get the lastest release

Getting cabal

PCG can be build using Haskell's cabal package management tool. See the cabal website for getting cabal set up on you machine.

First, make sure that the cabal package index is up to date:

cabal update

Build PCG:

cabal build pcg

Build the haddock documentation:

cabal haddock all --haddock-hyperlink-source --haddock-internal

This will create haddock documentation with hyperlinks to PCG's dependencies.

Build and run the test suites

cabal test

Build the run the integration tests

cabal run integration-tests

The integration test are different from the test suites. The test suites test small segments of code and check for individually correct behavior. The integration tests run the entire PCG program and check for holistically correct behavior. The integration tests will take much longer than the unit tests.
