Well, there is a processed version on haskell.org:

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?r ev=1.16

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.

I've now put binary zips for Windows of Haddock and Happy up on haskell.org. These are snapshots of recent CVS sources: http://www.haskell.org/haddock/haddock-Win32-snap.zip http://www.haskell.org/happy/dist/happy-Win32-snap.zip There's already a binary zip of Alex available. Cheers, Simon
