 How to make an installer
 ------------------------
 
-0. Install GHC, msys, nsis and darcs (http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries).
-   Make sure that you have the special build of nsis with large strings support.
+0. Install the prerequisites: ActivePerl, Python, MSYS and NSIS.
+   Install GHC.
+   Make sure that you have the special build of NSIS with large strings support.
    Add $GHCDIR/mingw/bin to PATH.
 
 1. Manually install cabal-install's dependencies: zlib, transformers,
-   mtl, parsec, network, HTTP (in this order). Make sure to use appropriate
-   versions (see haskell-platform.cabal).
-
-   (That is: download/unpack the .tar.gz, runghc Setup.hs
-   configure -p/build/install; or use ghc-install.sh).
-
-2. Manually install cabal-install
-
-3. cabal update
-   cabal install alex-$ALEX_VERSION happy-$HAPPY_VERSION
-
-4. darcs get --lazy http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/
-
-5. cd haskell-platform && cabal install
-
-   Make sure that you have library-profiling set to True and user-install set to
-   False in $APPDATA/cabal/config.
-
-   Make sure that you have glut.h and libglut32.a in $GHCDIR/mingw/{include/GL,lib}.
+   mtl, text, parsec, network, HTTP, random (in this order). Make sure
+   to use appropriate versions (see haskell-platform.cabal).
+
+   To install libraries manually: 
+   	 $ wget http://...$PACKAGE.tar.gz
+         $ tar xzf $PACKAGE.tar.gz
+	 $ cd $PACKAGE
+	 $ ghc-install.sh
+
+2. Manually install cabal-install:
+   	 $ wget http://...cabal-install-$VERSION.tar.gz
+         $ tar xzf cabal-install-$VERSION.tar.gz
+         $ cd cabal-install-$VERSION
+         $ runghc Setup.hs configure
+	 $ runghc Setup.hs build
+ 	 $ runghc Setup.hs install
+
+3. $ cabal update
+
+4. $ git clone https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform.git
+   $ cd haskell-platform
+   $ git checkout pre-release
+
+5. Make sure that you have 'library-profiling' set to True, 'user-install' set to
+   False and 'documentation' set to True in $APPDATA/cabal/config.
+
+   Make sure that you have glut.h and libglut32.a in $GHCDIR/mingw/{include/GL,lib} 
+   (can be copied from the previous Platform files).
+
+   In the haskell-platform directory:
+   $ cabal install
+   $ cabal install alex-$ALEX_VERSION happy-$HAPPY_VERSION
 
 6. Move all stuff from $PROGRAMFILES/Haskell/{bin,lib} to
 $GHCDIR/{lib/extralibs/bin,lib/extralibs}.
 
 7. Run recache.py (editing it beforehand to fix the paths).
-   Run 'ghc-pkg check' to check that 'recache.py' caused no problems.
+   Run ghc-pkg recache.
+   Run 'ghc-pkg check' to check that recaching caused no problems.
+
+8. Go to $GHCDIR/doc/html/libraries and run $THISDIR/haddock-gen-index.py
 
-8. Copy $GHCDIR to $THISDIR/files & uninstall GHC.
+9. Copy the contents of $GHCDIR to $THISDIR/files & uninstall GHC.
 
    Don't forget to remove unins000.dat and unins000.exe from $THISDIR/files.
 
-9. Build winghci & put it into $THISDIR/files/winghci.
+10. Build winghci & put it into $THISDIR/files/winghci.
 
-   Don't forget the runtime library (depends on the Visual Studio version:
-   e.g. for MSVC 9 it's msvcr900.dll, can be checked with dependency walker).
+    Don't forget the runtime library (depends on the Visual Studio version:

-10. Update GHC_VERSION and PLATFORM_VERSION variables in Nsisfile.nsi.
+11. Update GHC_VERSION and PLATFORM_VERSION variables in Nsisfile.nsi.
 
-11. Copy $THISDIR/icons/*.ico to $THISDIR/files/icons
+12. Copy $THISDIR/icons/*.ico to $THISDIR/files/icons
 
-12. gen_files_for_nsis.py files inst.dat uninst.dat
+13. gen_files_for_nsis.py files inst.dat uninst.dat
 
-13. Build the installer (right-click Nsisfile.nsi -> Compile NSIS Script).
+14. Build the installer (right-click Nsisfile.nsi -> Compile NSIS Script).
 
-14. Test the installer.
+15. Test the installer.
 
     I usually check that regex-posix and glut work.
