Hugs Sep 2006 build issues
by Bruce O'Neel 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi, I've recently started working with Haskell (a new years resolution to learn something new and different) and hugs seemed to be the best way to start. I first installed the March 2005 version from the OpenBSD ports system, but, that wasn't the latest so that had to change. I first installed the Sep 2006 one on Solaris 8 and Linux (Fedora Core 1) and found that I had to add -L/usr/X11R6/lib to the "X11" line in X11.cabal. Once that was done both of the builds seemed sucessful. Then we started on the problem children all running OpenBSD. OpenBSD was harder for seemingly no coherent reason. The procedure ended up being: gmake EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--prefix=/home/edoneel/local-`uname -m` --enable-ffi --with-pthreads" # Link things that didn't, for what ever reason, get built the first time. ln ./libraries/bootlib/Foreign/C/Error.so hugsdir/packages/base/Foreign/C/ ln ./libraries/bootlib/Foreign/Marshal/*.so hugsdir/packages/base/Foreign/Marshal ln ./libraries/bootlib/Foreign/Ptr.so hugsdir/packages/base/Foreign/ ln ./libraries/bootlib/System/Posix/Internals.so hugsdir/packages/base/System/Posix/ # force the packages to be rebuilt rm libraries/bootlib/.stamp rm -rf hugsdir/programs/ gmake EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--prefix=/home/edoneel/local-`uname -m` --enable-ffi --with-pthreads" . The silly ln commands in the middle are becuase around line 149 of ./libraries/bootlib/Distribution/Simple/Hugs.hs it seems that there are no FFI libraries to compile. Sadly I'm not knowledgeable enough to see the problem. Anyway, after the above steps Hugs Sep 2006 runs on OpenBSD Sparc, Sparc64 and PPC and works very nicly. OpenGL didn't build, but I don't need that for now. Cheers, and thanks for Hugs, it's quite nice. bruce

Final Call for Papers: TFP 2007, New York, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS Trends in Functional Programming 2007 New York, USA April 2-4, 2007 http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/ NEW: Abstract submission is now opened! Link: http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/submissions.html NEW: Invited Talk: John McCarthy, Standford University The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results through acceptance by extended abstracts. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume. TFP 2007 is co-hosted by Seton Hall University and The City College of New York (CCNY) and will be held in New York, USA, April 2-4, 2007 at the CCNY campus. SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research Articles leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles on what new trends should or should not be Project Articles descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation Articles what lessons can be drawn from a finished project Overview Articles summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Articles on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed: o Dependently Typed Functional Programming o Validation and Verification of Functional Programs o Debugging for Functional Languages o Functional Programming and Security o Functional Programming and Mobility o Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications o Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications o Functional Languages for Embedded Systems o Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing o Functional GRIDs o Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse) o Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages o Novel Memory Management Techniques o Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages o Program Transformation Techniques o Empirical Performance Studies o Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages o New Implementation Strategies o any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2007 program chair, Marco T. Morazan, at tfp2007(a)shu.edu. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the review of extended abstracts (6 to 10 pages in length) by the program committee. Accepted abstracts are to be completed to full papers before the symposium for publication in the draft proceedings and on-line. Further details can be found at the TFP 2007 website. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: February 1, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2007 Registration Deadline: March 2, 2007 Camera Ready Full Paper Due: March 9, 2007 TFP Symposium: April 2-4, 2007 PROGRAMME COMMITTEE John Clements California Polytechnic State University, USA Marko van Eekelen Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands Benjamin Goldberg New York University, USA Kevin Hammond University of St. Andrews, UK Patricia Johann Rutgers University, USA Hans-Wolfgang Loidl Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München, Germany Rita Loogen Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany Greg Michaelson Heriot-Watt University, UK Marco T.

What errors do you get? (If you've copied the module > to the current directory, it's not going to work.) I had done that. I will delete the file from my local directory. I had done an install of hugs98 into /usr/local/lib/hugs but I notice that almost none of the hugs98 packages got copied into /usr... So I set HUGSDIR=path/to/packages/in/my/user/account. I keep getting new "not found" errors for include files pulled in by the soe.hs file. I'm now reading Hudak's book _The Haskell School of Expression_ and finding it very helpful. I've just got into the "simple graphics" and I thought I would try it out. I think the problem I'm having is that the includes in soe are for old-style libraries and the files to be included are not found. I'm slowly starting to try to figure out what's going on with the includes since that seems to be where the problem lies.

Perhaps you could > post some of what happens. I committed a couple of the sins you mentioned above. I wound up deleting the Hugs98-sept-2006 which I had built and installing the prebuilt OpenBSD package of Hugs98-03.2005. A lot of things started working. I found the hugs98 demos directory and all the graphics programs worked. I think I am starting to get the hang of Hugs98. :-)

Do soe.hs based graphics work in hugs98? I am getting one error after another just trying to get the soe module to load. Thanks, Dave Feustel
