Add build instructions

[bbarker]

First go at using atskpg, so may be incorrect usage:

$ ~/.local/bin/atspkg build 
atspkg: 
 /home/brandon/workspace/edit-distance/atspkg.dhall/home/brandon/workspace/edit-distance/atspkg.dhall: hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)
brandon@beb82dell0-DevContainer:~/workspace/edit-distance

Oh dear. What happens when you run ~/.local/bin/atspkg test?

Also, does anything informative pop up when you ~/.local/bin/atspkg build -vv?

[bbarker]

Those commands have identical output to the atspkg build command. Being inexperienced with Haskell builds, all I can offer at this point is to say that yesterday I tried a cabal build of atspkg on the same system, so I'm not sure if that could be interfering.

[vmchale]

That's odd. What's the value of $HOME?

I'm guessing this is failing due to some locale issue. If you're on a Unix, I think that atspkg should be handling this better.

[bbarker]

$HOME is just /home/brandon; I do have a slightly odd setup, though not that strange: I'm running this from an Ubuntu docker container that has a nixpkgs installation. Due to the nix-ishness I believe LANG, LC_ALL, etc are not set by default (confirmed by checking env output). I tried exportLANG=en_US.UTF-8 which I've had to do before in other contexts (grasping for straws) but it didn't improve the situation.

I could provide my docker container; as is it is a bit large and takes a while to build, but, at least for the large bit, it can always be deleted later.

Sure! That hopefully give a reproducible case :)

[bbarker]

Thanks! Here it is https://github.com/CornellCAC/docker-nix-intellij- just do source build.sh to build and ./idea.sh to start it. You can cut down the build time by commenting out many packages in dev-env.nix, which I really need to get around to modularizing.

Because cURL in nix land seems destined to be broken forever (e.g. NixOS/nixpkgs#13744) , when using curl, I usually have to add -k to get it to ignore anything to do with SSL. I've spent time trying to fix this before, and I don't think I had a decent workaround.

[bbarker]

Also, let me know if you'd prefer I minimize the container somewhat more by removing a few packages first.
