* [project @ 2004-06-02 08:53:54 by panne]panne2004-06-021-425/+492
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the Building Guide almost valid DocBook XML V4.2 (to get the real thing, simply add an XML prolog and change "artheader" to "articleinfo"). Things that had to be changed: * XML tags are case-sensitive, so lowercase must be used for tags/attributes * Make "xref" an empty element. * "constant" is not allowed within "filename" * Move "indexterm" to a valid place. * Change some "&" to "&" * The "_" character in titles makes some trouble in the TeX backend => avoid it

* [project @ 2003-08-28 16:30:45 by simonmar]simonmar2003-08-281-47/+258
| | | | | | | | - Revamp the "Porting GHC" guide, now that I've gone through the process of doing a cross-compile using unregisterised HC files and written down a set of instructions that should work. - Update a few odds and ends that have become out of date.
* [project @ 2003-08-27 15:18:29 by panne]panne2003-08-271-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | green-card => greencard Green Card => GreenCard Although Alastair prefers "Greencard", the library's name is "Foreign.GreenCard", and unless we change this, too, "GreenCard" is more consistent.
* [project @ 2003-08-18 14:54:40 by panne]panne2003-08-181-6/+6
| | | | Ooops, forgot about a dozen references to configure.in... :-}

* [project @ 2003-06-02 07:19:15 by stolz]stolz2003-06-021-5/+15
| | | | | | | | | | - warn about running 'cvs update -Pd' (run into by: Peter Simons) - suggest running 'make html' in fptools/libraries before committing (*cough*) - fix speling blunders (Could somebody validate the SGML, please? Can't do it here :/)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | *** My last commit had a bogus commit message ** *** This is the right one. I've appended the ** *** list of files changed as well. ------------------------------------- Fix up HOST/TARGET_OS ifdefs ------------------------------------- Sigbjorn and Simon helped me to understand when it's appropriate to say 'ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS' and when 'ifdef mingw32_TARGET_OS'. I've documented this in the building guide. I've fixed up the ifdefs I erroneously changed last week, in this commit. I'm not certain about all of them. For examples, in DriverPhases there's an ifdef that deals with filename suffices. Should this be the filename suffices for the system on which GHC runs (HOST), or the system on which the compiled code will run (TARGET)? Currently it's the latter. Similarly, there's some path mangling ('/' vs '\') in DriverState: should this be for the system on which GHC runs (HOST) or the system on which the compiled code will run (TARGET)? Currently the former. I think some of the darwin_TARGET_OS should be darwin_HOST_OS's. Finally, for the GHCi stuff we require that HOST_OS = TARGET_OS. Rather than make an arbitrary choice in (e.g.) Linker.lhs, it's be better to say '#ifdef mingw32_OS', and arrange that this macro is set only in stage-2. I have not done this. I think these are 'right'. But I'm not sure the filename mangling is consistent throughout.

| | | | | | | | | | | Three Template Haskell improvements a) Add type synonyms to THSyntax (and DsMeta, Convert) b) Make Q into a newtype instead of a type synonym c) Eliminate tiresome and error prone argument to DsMeta.wrapGenSyms and similarly addTyVarBinds

| | | | | GHC is pre-supposed in order to build GHC. We weren't making this nearly as explicit as it should have been.

| | | | | | Add documentation on building the documentation. (I've moved the section on building documentation from the User's Guide, it doesn't really seem appropriate there).
