primecount
for Haskell

This library provides Haskell bindings to Kim Walisch’s
primecount library.
Build instructions
First follow the
directions
for installing libprimecount
. As stated in the directions, if you are
installing through your system’s package manager, make sure to get the
development version of the primecount package, which might have a name like
primecount-devel
. The current version of the Haskell bindings supports any
version of libprimecount >= 7.0
.
Then you can build the Haskell bindings with Stack or Cabal as usual.
Building libprimecount
from source
If you build and install the original primecount
library from source, instead
of through a package manager, then you need to make sure that your Haskell build
system knows where to find it. For example, on Linux libprimecount
might be
installed to /usr/local/lib64
.
Then if using Stack, add the following lines to your stack.yaml
or your global
~/.stack/config.yaml
:
extra-lib-dirs:
- /usr/local/lib64
extra-include-dirs:
- /usr/local/include
If using Cabal, add the following lines to your ~/.cabal/config
:
extra-lib-dirs:
/usr/local/lib64
extra-include-dirs:
/usr/local/include
or pass
--extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib64 --extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/include
as an argument to Cabal.
