Got it built after realising that my PATH didn't include ghc (thanks Andy Moran). I renamed haddock.bin to haddock.exe and copied to into ghc's bin for convenience (ghc's bin is already in my path). Now I just have to figure out how to invoke it... Where can I find instructions for use? I see haddock.sgml in haddock-0.6/haddock/doc but reading sgml hurts. Is there an html version of this somewhere? I have a few questions: - can you invoke it on a folder and have it generate docs for all of the source files in it (and sub-folders)? - does it work on .lhs source containing bird-track style code? It would appear not, as I get a parse error. - why doesn't it know what Int, String, Float, IO, Monad, Show, etc are? What invocation option do I need to ensure it links to Prelude/hierarchical-library stuff? (I think it's --read-interface; must I generate interface files for the Prelude and libraries though?) Thanks, Alistair.

...

Has anyone recently built Haddock on Windows? I'm invoking configure and make from Cygwin bash. Configure takes a couple of hours, and then make produces a load of errors (see below).

I'm ashamed to say that Haddock, like Alex and Happy don't really support native Windows too well.

You can use them in a Cygwin (and possibly MSYS) environment, by doing the usual ./configure && make install, which will install the tool by default in /usr/local/bin.

Cheers, Simon
