Currently pre-built binaries for the following platforms are provided:

• Ubuntu Trusty (64-bit)
• OS X
• Windows (x64)

GTK+2 needs to be installed for those binaries to work.

On OS X, gtk-mac-integration also needs to be installed.

brew install gtk+ gtk-mac-integration

On Windows, the MSYS2 is the recommended way to install GTK+2. In MSYS2 MINGW64 shell:

pacman -S $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-gtk2

then you can run the threadscope binary from the shell.

Use git clone or cabal unpack threadscope to get the source and move into the threadscope directory.

GTK+2 is required to be installed. On Ubuntu-like systems:

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev

Then you can build threadscope using cabal:

cabal new-build

Or using stack:

stack setup
stack install

GTK+ and gtk-mac-integration are required.

brew install gtk+ gtk-mac-integration

Then you can build threadscope using cabal:

cabal new-build --constraint="gtk +have-quartz-gtk"

Or using stack:

stack setup
stack install --flag gtk:have-quartz-gtk

Chocolatey can be used to install GHC and MSYS2 is the recommended way to install GTK+.

choco install ghc
refreshenv
set PATH=C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin;C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin;%PATH%
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2

then you can build threadscope using cabal:

cabal new-build

Or you can use stack instead.

CAVEAT: gtk2 needs to be installed twice: one for stack's MSYS2 environment and another for local MSYS2 environment.

In command prompt:

stack setup
stack exec -- pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime msys2-runtime-devel
stack exec -- pacman -Syu
stack exec -- pacman -Syuu
stack exec -- pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2
stack install

Then in MSYS2 MINGW64 shell:

pacman -S $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-gtk2
echo 'export PATH=$APPDATA/local/bin:$PATH' >> .profile
source .profile
threadscope

Building using stack is not tested in CI. If you find any issues with building with stack, please update the instructions and send a PR.
