The idea here is to build cabal-helper with whatever version of Cabal the user happens to be using (which we find by looking at dist/setup-config) at runtime. This way we can support literally any version of Cabal as long as the actual cabal-helper still compiles. I tried to only use interfaces in Cabal that have been there since at least 1.16 so I'm hoping this shouldn't break too much. |

Using the stable version
The Emacs front-end is available from stable MELPA. This package should always be compatible with the latest version of ghc-mod from hackage.
To use stable stable MELPA add this to your .emacs:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa-stable.milkbox.net/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
With this configuration you can install the Emacs front end from MELPA (the
package is called ghc there, not ghc-mod) and install the
ghc-mod/ghc-modi binaries from hackage by doing:
% cabal update && cabal install ghc-mod
Nix & NixOS
The installation is a little more involved in this environment as Nix needs some ugly hacks to get packages using the GHC API to work, please refer to this stackoverflow answer:

Using the development version
The easiest way to hack on ghc-mod is compile it, then add dist/build/ghc-mod
and dist/build/ghc-modi to your PATH and add the elisp/ directory to your
Emacs load-path.
Make sure you're not using the MELPA version of ghc.el otherwise you might get
all sorts of nasty conflicts.
