I have been using Gentoo Linux as my primary OS since 2004. So, it usually important for me to choose software which available in Gentoo portage. And there is no Hakyll in portage :(
Of course, it is possible to install Hakyll from cabal using cabal-install,
but according to the wiki this is
not recommended. Instead of this, we can install this package fro the
Gentoo Haskell overlay. So,
first of all it required to add this overlay using layman (of course if you
didn’t do it before).
$ emerge layman
$ layman -a haskell
$ echo "/var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/portage/make.confThe next problem is that Hakyll requires Pandoc version >= 1.14 (which is also available in the overlay), and it has dependency on GHC >= 7.8. And this means that you have to unmask lot of packages. Bad news: autounmasking doesn’t work. Lot of packages should be unmasked manually to avoid blocking. Good news: I’ve done that and here is the list of unmasked packages:

this case you should emerge -uD ghc and then call haskell-updater --upgrade
before emerging Hakyll.
Now you can create your own Hakyll based site.
