Build instructions

Install Stack. Keep in mind on Arch-based Linux distributions that all the Haskell packages in the official repos are totally unusable for development, so you need to install Stack using the upstream binaries. (See this HIE issue.)

To compile the Haskell implementation (provide VERBOSE=1 to write intermediate log files into out-kalyn):

$ make 1 [VERBOSE=1]

To use the Haskell implementation to compile the Kalyn implementation:

$ make 2

To use the Kalyn implementation to compile itself:

$ make 3
