$ perl boot
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make # can also say 'make -jX' for X number of jobs
$ make install

(NB: **Do you have multiple cores? Be sure to tell that to `make`!** This can
save you hours of build time depending on your system configuration, and is
almost always a win regardless of how many cores you have. As a simple rule,
you should have about N+1 jobs, where `N` is the amount of cores you have.)

The `perl boot` step is only necessary if this is a tree checked out
from git. For source distributions downloaded from [GHC's web site] [1],
this step has already been performed.
