This is the root directory for functional-programming tools
distributed by the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University.
Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> is the ringleader of this
effort. The tools are:
ghc the Glasgow Haskell compilation system
hslibs collection of Haskell libraries
haggis the Haggis GUI toolkit
happy the Happy Haskell parser generator
hdirect Haskell interop tool
green-card a foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell.
nofib the NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
literate the Glasgow "literate programming" system
glafp-utils shared utility programs
mk GNU make setup used by all of fptools
docs documentation on the installing and using
the fptools suite.
Components which are always part of a distribution (never stand-alone)
are "glafp-utils" and "mk" (a configuration system).
Quick start: the following is *supposed* to work
$ ./configure
$ make boot
$ make
$ make install
where 'make' is whatever GNU make is called on your system. The
configuration script is a standard GNU autoconf script which accepts
all the normal arguments, eg. --prefix=<blah> to install the package
somewhere other than /usr/local. Try ./configure --help to get a full
list of the options.
There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please
consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.

- generalise the per-module initialisation stubs so that we use it in normal (non-profiled) code too. The initialisation stubs are now called '__init_<module>' rather than '_reg<module>'. - Register foreign exported functions as stable pointers in the initialisation code for the module. This fixes the foreign export problems reported by several people. - remove the concept of "module groups" from the profiling subsystem. - change the profiling semantics slightly; it should be unnecessary to use '-caf-all' to get reasonable profiles now.
