installing z3 haskell bindings on windows - windows

I've followed the docs for z3 to install it onto my windows machine. The output says Z3 was successfully built. but when I try to install Haskell bindings by running cabal install z3 I get the error:
* Missing (or bad) header file: z3.h
* Missing (or bad) C library: z3
But I've followed the guide to install z3 and it seems to have worked? The other methods in the z3 docs usually have an 'install' step, should the instructions for windows have an install step as well? I naively tried 'nmake install' but that did not work.
What do I need for the cabal install command to work.. what am I missing?

According to the z3 README on Hackage, you need to specify --extra-lib-dirs and --extra-include-dirs to tell Cabal where to find your Z3 library and header files, respectively, for example:
cabal install z3 --extra-include-dirs=C:\z3-4.8.0-x64-win\include --extra-lib-dirs=C:\z3-4.8.0-x64-win\bin
If you use a binary release, these directories are found in the extracted archive. (I don’t see a mention in the Z3 docs of where they would end up when you build with VS.)

How to correctly build cabal project using hmatrix under Windows 10?

Using Windows 10 64-bit, Cabal-3.4.0.0, ghc-8.10.7.
I installed OpenBLAS in MSYS2 environment with command
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-openblas.
Than, I successfully installed hmatrix-0.20.2 with command
cabal install --lib hmatrix --flags=openblas --extra-include-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\include\\OpenBLAS" --extra-lib-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin" --extra-lib-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\lib"
I am trying to build simple test project using cabal build cabalhmatrix with Main
module Main where
import Numeric.LinearAlgebra
main :: IO ()
main = do
putStrLn $ show $ vector [1,2,3] * vector [3,0,-2]
But now I am getting output

In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
- hmatrix-0.20.2 (lib) (requires build)

Configuring library for hmatrix-0.20.2..
cabal-3.4.0.0.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing (or bad) C libraries: blas, lapack
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.If
the library files do exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
cabal-3.4.0.0.exe: Failed to build hmatrix-0.20.2 (which is required by
exe:cabalhmatrix from cabalhmatrix-0.1.0.0). See the build log above for
details.
What should I do to correctly build that package?
I guess I need to somehow pass arguments --flags=openblas --extra-include-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\include\\OpenBLAS" --extra-lib-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin" --extra-lib-dirs="C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\lib" to hmatrix during compilation, but don't know how to do that. To be honest, I don't understand for what program exactly are those arguments (cabal, ghc, ghc-pkg or something else) and why cabal is trying to install hmatrix again. I see hmatrix in directory "C:\cabal\store\ghc-8.10.7\hmatrix-0.20.2-e917eca0fc7690010007a19f4f2a3602d86df0f0".
Created cabal.project file:
packages: .
package hmatrix
flags: +openblas
extra-include-dirs: C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\include\\OpenBLAS
extra-lib-dirs: C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin, C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\libenter code here
After adding libopenblas.dll location to PATH variable cabal project is working.
Even though there is the --lib flag, it's generally best to work under the assumption that Cabal doesn't do library installs. Never install a library, instead just depend on it – and have Cabal install, update etc. it whenever necessary.
But then how can you pass the necessary flags? With a cabal.project file.
packages: .
package hmatrix
flags: openblas
extra-include-dirs: C:\\ghcup\\msys64\\mingw64\\include\\OpenBLAS
...
Put this file in the working directory of your own project, together with cabalhmatrix.cabal. Then running cabal build in that directory will use a hmatrix install with the suitable library etc. flags.

Apache Mesos configured failed on OS X Yosemite

I am following the doc (http://mesos.apache.org/gettingstarted/) and trying to install Mesos on my mac. When I try to configure it, it gives me the error:
checking python extra linking flags... -u _PyMac_Error Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
checking consistency of all components of python development environment... no
configure: error: in `/Users/syang/Desktop/git/mesos/build':
configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
============================================================================
ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.
============================================================================
I use Python 2.7.8 and I am trying to install Mesos 0.23.0. I did some search, it looks like after installing command tools using xcode, the linking problem should get handled. However, it doesn't look like that to me. Is there anyone who has similar experience and can help me?
Thank you.
The easiest way of running Mesos on local machine is to use https://github.com/bobrik/mesos-compose (Docker) or https://github.com/mesosphere/playa-mesos (Vagrant)
There are a bit different when build it in OSX. You could use "brew install mesos" to install it directly. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula/mesos.rb also show how to build mesos in osx.
I dont know if you have resolved this issue but for future reference I would like to suggest the below steps based on this blog http://gwikis.blogspot.com/2015/08/building-mesos-0230-on-os-x-yosemite.html
$ cd mesos-0.x./build/
$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python ../configure
Moreover in case that you receive any errors like libapr-1 is required for mesos to build. or libsubversion-1 is required for mesos to build. then you could do the following, assuming that apr and subversion libs are installed with brew.
$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python ../configure -with-svn=/usr/local/Cellar/subversion/1.8.13/ -with-apr=/usr/local/Cellar/apr/1.5.2/libexec/
To verify why the Python path is not correct and the compile fails in the first place please go once through the blogpost.

Keep confusing different cabals (cabal, cabal-dev, cabal-install and $HOME:/.cabal/bin/cabal)

I keep confusing
cabal from /usr/local/bin/cabal
cabal-dev
cabal-install
cabal in ~/.cabal/bin/cabal which is used for creating a sandbox.
So far I've been using cabal (from /usr/local/bin/cabal) and ~/.cabal/bin/cabal - the first one for creating a .cabal file by cabal init, the second one for creating a sandbox by cabal sandbox init and installing the dependencies by cabal install --only-dependencies.
So now I want to begin using only one of these tools - whatever is more modern and should be used. I believe this is ~/.cabal/bin/cabal
So I've added ~/.cabal/bin to $PATH and performed cabal sandbox init. It worked fine. But cabal install --only-dependencies said
cabal: No cabal file found. Why is that? According to this tutorial http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html it doesn't have to be like that.
Anyway, what have I done wrong and what should I do?
UPDATE:
$ which cabal
/Users/alex/.cabal/bin/cabal
But I wonder, does cabal sandbox init have to create a .cabal file? The documentation does prove that and the error is:
cabal: No cabal file found.
Please create a package description file <pkgname>.cabal
Did you run cabal init to create a pkgname.cabal file? All of the examples that you liked they always do cabal install --only dependencies in an existing source tree, assuming the existence of a pkgname.cabal file.

Does installing gfortran with homebrew and with an installer create a conflict?

I was following an online tutorial to install some Python modules using homebrew and one step was to install gfortran with brew install gfortran. Later on, I tried using another third-party installation script to install some Python modules and after the fact I realized that part of what the script did was download and run http://r.research.att.com/tools/gcc-42-5666.3-darwin11.pkg. I don't know that much about gfortran, but looking at the brew formula for gfortran it appears that brew uses a different version from the att.com one. Will that lead to problems in the future? I did brew uninstall gfortran and brew install gfortran again, and so far it seems like things are the same (I tried recompiling the old code that I had compiled before), but I am not sure what all the att.com pkg did. (I have OS X 10.8.2 and XCode 4.2 if that matters).
It depends on where the other gfortran installer goes to. In general, no, it won't conflict. * Homebrew is designed to be compatible with third-party gfortran installs - it defines dependencies on a generic "fortran" compiler, and not on the specific gfortran Homebrew formula. Homebrew stays under /usr/local, sticking the main install in /usr/local/Cellar, and symlinking judiciously in to /usr/local/lib. Other installers that install to /usr/local will just prevent Homebrew from linking its own compiler in, but will work with other formulas that use a fortran compiler. (Assuming the gfortran build options are compatible.)
That particular gcc-42 installer you linked to installs to /usr, not to /usr/local.** And its binaries are suffixed with "-4.2"; that is, it installs cpp-4.2, g++-4.2, gfortran-4.2, and so on. So a) there's no direct conflict with the Homebrew gfortran, and b) it won't directly shadow the /usr/local/bin/gfortran installed by Homebrew.
Which compiler will get picked up by things you build with both these gfortrans installed will depend on how the build works, but most will be looking for plain gfortran and so will find the Homebrew one, unless you explicitly direct them to the AT&T-provided one. You don't specify how you're building things, but since you're using brew, I'm assuming it's via brew or command line tools, in which case I think they're all probably seeing the Homebrew gfortran and ignoring this one. Look at the verbose output from their build processes to find out for sure.
*Depending, of course on what you mean by "conflict".
**Side note: AFAIK there's no easy way to figure this out by looking at the package or an installation manager. I just did a find /usr before and after running that installer, and did a diff on the output:
$ diff usr_before_any_installs.txt usr_after_att_install.txt | grep '^[<>]'
> /usr/bin/c++-4.2
> /usr/bin/cpp-4.2
> /usr/bin/g++-4.2

Problems installing Python Protocol Buffers

I am a beginning programmer trying to install the Python Protocol Buffers from this package: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/detail?name=protobuf-2.4.1.zip
The readme states:
1) Make sure you have Python 2.4 or newer. If in doubt, run:
$ python -V
2) If you do not have setuptools installed, note that it will be
downloaded and installed automatically as soon as you run setup.py.
If you would rather install it manually, you may do so by following
the instructions on this page:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions
3) Build the C++ code, or install a binary distribution of protoc. If
you install a binary distribution, make sure that it is the same
version as this package. If in doubt, run:
$ protoc --version
4) Run the tests:
$ python setup.py test
If some tests fail, this library may not work correctly on your
system. Continue at your own risk.
Please note that there is a known problem with some versions of
Python on Cygwin which causes the tests to fail after printing the
error: "sem_init: Resource temporarily unavailable". This appears
to be a bug either in Cygwin or in Python:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg01378.html
We do not know if or when it might me fixed. We also do not know
how likely it is that this bug will affect users in practice.
5) Install:
$ python setup.py install
This step may require superuser privileges.
NOTE: To use C++ implementation, you need to install C++ protobuf runtime
library of the same version and export the environment variable before this
step. See the "C++ Implementation" section below for more details.
I have added both python and version 2.4.1 of protoc.exe into my PATH. However, when I try to run the test, I get an error message that says there's invalid syntax on line 38:
print "Can't find required file " + source
Okay, so it's missing parenthesis. I add them, and it encounters two more print statement syntax error messages. I fix those, and it encounters a syntax error message on an 'except' statement. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Perhaps you are using Python 3?
The code you refer to will only work in Python 2.X
I have followed same steps , but I didn't get any errors.
Please make sure that you are getting correct Python and protoc version.
Export the environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
