-
-./Setup.hs configure
-./Setup.hs build
-./Setup.hs install
-
-- Install the hs-plugins backend which loads drivers
-  dynamically (requires at least the current, as of
-  2005-12-09, darcs version of hs-plugins):
-
-cd driver-dynamic
-./Setup.hs configure
-./Setup.hs build
-./Setup.hs install
-cd ..
-
-- Compile and install DBDirect:
-
-make
-make install
-
-- Install HSQL drivers (you need driver-hsql and
-  the backends you want to use):
-
-cd driver-hsql
-./Setup.hs configure
-./Setup.hs build
-./Setup.hs install

 Requirements:
 
-- GHC 6.4 or newer (if you want GHC support)
-
-- GNU Make
-
-- Hugs ??? HaskellDB used to work with Hugs, does it still?
-
-A database driver, at least one of:
-
-- HSQL (http://htoolkit.sourceforge.net/)
-
-  Use Cabal to install the HSQL backends that you want to use.
-
-  * Extra requirements for Windows
-
-    - Cygwin (found at www.cygwin.com)
-      Except the default packages you will also need Make and GCC
-
-    - Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) SDK (found at 
-      http://www.msdn.com/download)
-
-- wxHaskell (http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/)
-
-  wxHaskell's database support requires wxWidgets built with ODBC
-  support, which is not enabled by default.
-
-
-Database support:
-
-- HSQL ODBC
-
-  HaskellDB should work with all ODBC drivers, assuming that the database
-  supports the queries generated by HaskellDB. This does for exaemple 
-  currently not include the stable version of MySQL, see below.
-
-- HSQL MySQL
-
-  HaskellDB only works with MySQL version >= 4.1 since earlier
-  versions don't support nested subqueries.
-
-  It is currently not possible to build HSQL's MySQL support under
-  Windows. If you figure it out, let us know.
-
-  MySQL only supports transactions on transaction-safe table types,
-  such as InnoDB and BDB. The default table type, MyISAM, does not
-  support transactions. See the MySQL manual for more information.
-
-  MySQL 4.1 does not support intersect.
-
-- HSQL PostgreSQL
-
-  Works.
-
-- HSQL SQLite
-
-  Works, but since SQLite is untyped, DBDirect reports the types of
-  all columns in SQLite databases as String, even if some other type
-  was used when the table was created. To work around this, create the
-  database description modules using
+- GHC 6.2
 
-  Database.HaskellDB.DBSpec.DBSpecToDBDirect.dbInfoToModuleFiles
+- Hugs November 2003 (if you want Hugs support)
 
-  There are some problems with escaping of certain characters
-  (whitspace and backslash) for SQLite, sicne SQLite does not expect 
-  them to be escaped.
+- The CVS version of HSQL. The build system assumes that there is a
+  sibling directory to the directory that this file is in named
+  HSQL-cvs. That directory contains a copy of
+  src/drivers/hsql/Makefile.HSQL named Makefile, the CVS version 
+  of HSQL in a directory named HSQL and a symlink to the HSQL
+  directory named Database.
 
-- wxHaskell
+  This can be set up as follows (starting in the directory that this
+  file is in.  
+  > mkdir ../HSQL-cvs 
+  > cp src/drivers/hsql/Makefile.HSQL ../HSQL-cvs/Makefile
+  > make -C ../HSQL-cvs
 
-  Works only with GHC. Does not work with MySQL as far as we know.
