Fellow Haskell'ers,
I've been maintaining the site http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/
for a while now, and I can't help but notice that there is no
Haskell section. I know that GHC comes with a lot of useful
Haskell-related Autoconf macros, so does Darcs, and so do a lot
of other projects too. Thus, I was wondering whether the
respective macro authors would be willing to submit their macros
to the archive for distribution, so that other software
developers around the world can find them, and re-use them.
To have a macro added to the archive, all you need to do is to
e-mail it to me in the proper mark-up format, so that the
software which generates the archive can extract the necessary
meta information and documentation.
I'll use one of David Roundy's macros as an example to show what
that looks like. Hope you don't mind, David. ;-) Here it is:
| dnl @synopsis AX_TRY_COMPILE_GHC(PROGRAM, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE])
| dnl
| dnl AX_TRY_COMPILE_GHC tries to compile and link the given
| dnl program using $GHC for the compiler, and $GHCFLAGS as
| dnl flags passed to the compiler.
