[Linux] "Connecting to network..." 127.0.0.1:8090 seems dead AKA "How to run it?"

After successfully building it on Arch Linux, I get never ending “Connecting to network…” and error messages complaining about 127.0.0.1:8090, which seems dead when trying to connect manually with wscat or netcat.

Cross-linking:

• I’ve posted already on Cardano Forum here
• here I found another user who build it but “has to figure out how to run it”

I’ve poked around and find that most Linux users are really confused, while there should be clear instructions what has to be run if it’s more than just “daedalus”. (btw. Some notes refer to scripts “connect-to-mainnset” etc (like here) that are in cardano-sl repository but not in package that is build…).

@tanzeelrana Your comment should be moved to an issue on my repo rather than here. However, the problem is that you do not have GHC installed. There is a comment at the top of the Makefile about required prerequisites.

To give people a choice, here’s a Makefile and scripts to build daedalus/cardano.
