I think this has come up before, but I can't find an answer. How can I build Haddock under Windows? I've got the Haddock distribution, and it has a 'building.sgml' file, but I can't find a processed version (e.g. HTML or PDF) of this document.
Well, there is a processed version on haskell.org: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/building-guide.html But that's probably not exactly what you're looking for. It only describes in very general terms how to build the fptools suite.
I also can't find any online documentation for building Haddock. [...]
This is not exactly "documentation", but at least it's online: :-) http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/haddock/haddock.spec?rev=1... The .spec file describes exactly what has to be done to build Haddock, at least if you've got a Unix-like environment (e.g. cygwin, MinGW/MSYS). It boils down to the the usual: autoreconf ./configure --prefix=<WhereverYouWantItToBeInstalledLater> make make html make install Alex and Happy are built in exactly the same way, BTW. But perhaps Sigbjorn has some ultra-secret scripts/tools for generating an *.msi... :-] Cheers, S.
