Vagrantfile for hugs98

Use this file to work with hugs98 in a virtual machine. With this method you can run hugs98 on Windows or on Mac OS X without problems.

Howto

Prerequisite: You have to install Vagrant on your machine. Vagrant uses a software that can run virtual machines. Usually vagrant comes bundled with Virtual Box, which can be used without charge. If you use Parallels or VmWare on a mac, please be aware that you must use an edition that works with Vagrant. Usually this means an additional fee (for Parallels you need the "Pro" version, for VMWare you need a separate Vagrant provider).

1. Clone the reository git clone https://github.com/geggo98/vagrant-hugs98.git
2. Go to the project directory cd vagrant-hugs98
3. Start vagrant vagrant up
4. Wait until vagrant has done its job (fetch some coffee, this might take a while)
5. Connect with the virtual machine vagrant ssh
6. Go to the directory "/vagrant" inside the VM cd /vagrant
7. Run hugs with one of the demo files hugs helloworld.hs or hugs greetings.hs. Inside hugs, startthe program with main, edit it with :edit (quit vim with :q!), reload with :relaod and quit hugs98 with :quit

When you edit a file on your machine and put it in the project directory ("vagrant-hugs98"), vagrant will sync it automatically with the "/vagrant" directory inside the VM. So you can use your favorite editor and don't have to use vim inside the VM.
