4 This is the top-level directory of the fptools build system. Several
5 packages are part of this build system; if you got this as part of a
6 source distribution (eg. for GHC), then you will have one or more of
7 the following directories:
9 ghc The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
10 hslibs A Collection of Haskell libraries
11 haggis The Haggis GUI toolkit
12 happy The Happy Haskell parser generator
13 hdirect Haskell interop tool
14 green-card A foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell.
15 nofib The NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
17 Additional documentation for each project can be found in its
20 In addition, the following directories contain project-independent bits:
22 mk GNU make setup used by all of fptools
23 glafp-utils Shared utility programs
24 docs Documentation on the installing and using
25 the fptools build system.
26 distrib Tools and additional bits for building distributions
28 Quick start: the following is *supposed* to work
35 where 'make' is whatever GNU make is called on your system (GNU make
36 is *required*). The configuration script is a standard GNU autoconf
37 script which accepts all the normal arguments, eg. --prefix=<blah> to
38 install the package somewhere other than /usr/local. Try ./configure
39 --help to get a full list of the options.
41 There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please
42 consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.
