w.r.t. fptools - can you explain what I need here. The first line seems to be running happy over parser.y - but I thought there was already an up-to-date good parser.c in src. The second line seems to be running a program called hsc2hs - which is in the ghc distribution - but it appears to be doing unix-ish stuff. How do I build the fptools for win32? A lot of the makefiles seem ghc-specific. I guess the issue is that I'm willing to try this out on win32 (esp. as I didn't see anyone else say they're trying it) but I'm unfamilar with the tree. I do have cygwin & ghc 5.02 installed if they are necessary to build hugs. -- Dave from toplevel makefile: find fptools/libraries -name "*.ly" -o -name "*.y" | xargs -l happy find fptools/libraries -name "*.hsc" | xargs -l hsc2hs --no-compile find fptools/libraries -name "*_hsc_make.c" | xargs src/unix/hsc_kludge -- Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "'Ross Paterson'" <ross@soi.city.ac.uk> To: "David Bakin" <d.bakin@comcast.net> Cc: "Mark P Jones" <mpj@cse.ogi.edu>; <hugs-users@haskell.org> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 4:00 PM Subject: Re: source-only release candidate

Did not build the fptools - do I need to?
Oh yes, this is now essential for the Prelude, the standard libraries and many others besides. (This accounts for problems 2 and 3.)
The conversion must be done in a Unix-like environment like cygwin or mingw. You will need to have built runhugs and ffihugs. You need to move into src and say
mkdir -p ../hugsdir/tools ../hugsdir/include ../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs cp ../tools/* ../hugsdir/tools cp HsFFI.h config.h unix/MachDeps.h unix/template-hsc.h ../hugsdir/include cp ../libraries/Hugs/*.* ../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs cd unix ./convert_libraries ../../fptools ../../hugsdir env HUGSDIR=../../hugsdir HUGSFLAGS='' ./BuildFFI
You will then need the directories ../hugsdir/libraries and ../hugsdir/oldlib (or copies of them) in your Hugs search path.
