Re: [Haskell-cafe] SYB3 codebase

Hi Greg To the best of my knowledge it is not maintained anymore :( If you want to use it, you should properly make use of this patch: http://autoforms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/autoforms/trunk/AForms/SYB3_Shelarcy.diff?revision=234&view=markup&pathrev=400 The patch was made by Kido Takahiro (aka. Shelarcy). The patch makes SYB3 compile with GHC 6.6 and GHC 6.8. However, I do not _think_ anybody else currently uses SYB3 with this patch. As far as I know, I was the only user and I have recently migrated to http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/syb-with-class-0.... (hereafter know as HappS-SYB3). HappS-SYB3 is based on the SYB3 code you mention, but the code has been changed quite a bit compared to using the Shelarcy patch. So it will properly require some more work. On the other hand, I think the http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/syb-with-class-0.... version is better maintained, as it is used in HappS project. I have not been able to find any documentation for HappS-SYB3. I _think_ it is because the HappS folks main focus is to use it to support the HappS project. I've have emailed the HappS maintainer about my usage of HappS-SYB3, but I am yet to receive an answer. Thus I have no idea of his position on my usage of HappS-SYB3. If I was you, I would use the Shelarcy patch first, as it will require less work. When everything is working I would migrate to HappS-SYB3, as they have an interest in maintaining their version. Greetings, Mads Lindstrøm P.s. if you decide using the Shelarcy patch then apply it with:

patch -u -dSYB3

Greg Meredith:

Haskellians,

Does anyone know the status of SYB3 codebase? It appears that FreshLib critically depends on it, but the code downloadable from http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/syb3/code.html dies in make test on the first test with

lgmaclt:~/work/src/projex/biosimilarity/HS1/Process/haskell/SYB3 lgm$ make test make test1 stem=geq1 ghci -fglasgow-exts -fallow-overlapping-instances -fallow-undecidable-instances -v0 geq1.hs < Main.in > geq1.out

geq1.hs:27:34: Inferred type is less polymorphic than expected Quantified type variable `a1' escapes Probable cause: `geq'' is applied to too few arguments In the first argument of `gzipWithQ', namely `geq'' In the first argument of `and', namely `(gzipWithQ geq' x y)'

<interactive>:1:0: Not in scope: `main' diff -b geq1.out geq1.ref 0a1,4

...

True False False True make[1]: *** [test1] Error 1 make: *** [test] Error 2 lgmaclt:~/work/src/projex/biosimilarity/HS1/Process/haskell/SYB3 lgm$

Is there a newer version of this codebase? Has this functionality been folded into mainline Haskell tree somewhere?

Best wishes,
