pandoc/INSTALL
fiddlosopher e417ceaa8d Modified INSTALL instructions to emphasize that GNU make is required,
and that it goes by the name 'gmake' on some systems.

% Installing Pandoc
# Installing GHC
To compile Pandoc, you'll need [GHC] version 6.4 or greater. If
you don't have GHC already, you can get it from the [GHC Download]
page.
[GHC]: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
[GHC Download]: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html
You'll also need standard build tools: [GNU `make`], `sed`, `bash`,
and `perl`. These are standard on unix systems (including MacOS
X). If you're using Windows, you can install [Cygwin].
[Cygwin]: http://www.cygwin.com/
[GNU `make`]: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/
# Installing Pandoc
1. Change to the directory containing the Pandoc distribution.
2. Compile:
make
If you get "Unknown modifier" errors, it is probably because `make`
on your system is not [GNU `make`]. Try using `gmake` instead.
3. See if it worked (optional, but recommended):
make test
4. Install:
sudo make install
Note: This installs `pandoc`, together with its wrappers and
documentation, into the `/usr/local` directory. If you don't
have root privileges or would prefer to install `pandoc` and
the associated wrappers into your `~/bin` directory, type
this instead:
PREFIX=~ make install-exec
5. Build and install the Haskell libraries and library
documentation (optional):
make build-all
sudo make install-all
# Removing Pandoc
Each of the installation steps described above can be reversed:
sudo make uninstall
PREFIX=~ make uninstall-exec
sudo make uninstall-all
