Reorganisation of the source tree
Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.

These are noted below. + +0. Build a stage 1 tree. +1. Set "XMLDocWays=html pdf" in stage 2's build.mk. +2. Build stage 2. +3. Convert ANNOUNCE and LICENSE (if it has changed) to RTF (use Word), +and put them in the WindowsInstaller directory. +4. Iff the layout of the directory tree has changed since last time +(the addition or removal of files in existing directories doesn't +matter): + + a. Set Project->Path Variables->Project->SourceFiles to point to + the installed tree. + b. Make sure GHCBITS (in the same place) points to the tree + containing gcc, perl &c. + c. Delete all the DLS_TopLevelFiles_x components. + d. Add the entire install tree to TopLevelFiles as a dynamic link. + e. Re-add the Start menu shortcuts for + i. GHCi + ii. PDF manual + iii. HTML User's Guide + iv. HTML Libraries Guide + + For each one, find the right DLS_TopLevelFiles_xx directory, go + to Shortcuts, add a folder Program Files->Glasgow Haskell + Compiler, and preferably copy the exact name for the file from an + installed compiler. Add the file name, which is relative to the + *installed* tree (i.e. <InstallDir>). + f. Re-add the registry keys (under Registry Data for the + TopLevelFiles component): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Glasgow + Haskell Compiler->x.yy->{Path,Version}, where Path is set to + <INSTALLDIR> and Version to the current version. + +5. Build the InstallShield. +7-356. Deal with the awkward points mentioned below. +357. Freeze & sell. + + +Documentation +------------- + + jadetex + ------- + +I couldn't work out how to set the config parameters of MikTeX 2.1 to +make jadetex compile the user guide and libraries book without falling +over owing to running out of hash_size. + +Since MikTeX 1.2 seemed to work fine, the suggested workaround is to +use that. + +Hopefully at some point Cygwin's tetex package will come with jadetex, +and there won't be any need to install MikTeX. + + ghostscript + ----------- + +I couldn't get Cygwin's ps2pdf to work; hopefully it will in the +future (or even more likely, I was just being useless). I have used +AFPL's Ghostscript 6.50 for Windows happily; note that whatever +version is used should be at least 6.50; earlier versions put +low-quality bitmap fonts in PDFs. + + +Tweaking the UI +--------------- + +The only dialog that has so far been changed is SetupCompleteSuccess +(under User Interface). Note that this dialog is used for both install +(string IDS__IsExitDialog_5) and uninstall (string +IDS__IsExitDialog_6). + + +Version number and other strings +-------------------------------- + +Most of the useful string resources are under the top-most entries in +the tree on the Project View.

The source distribution is freely +\par available via the World-Wide Web, under a BSD-style license. See +\par below for download details. Pre-built packages for Linux, FreeBSD, +\par Solaris and Win32 are also available. +\par +\par Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the +\par current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998. +\par +\par GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is +\par an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of +\par platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick +\par development. The distribution includes space and time profiling +\par facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various +\par language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign +\par language interfaces (C, C++, whatever). +\par +\par A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, +\par specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, +\par contact information, links to research groups) are available from the +\par Haskell home page at +\par +\par http://www.haskell.org/ +\par +\par GHC's Web page lives at +\par +\par http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ +\par }\pard\plain \s15\ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \f2\fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 +\par }\pard\plain \s2\ql \li0\ri0\sb240\sa60\keepn\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\outlinelevel1\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \b\i\f1\fs28\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 \hich\af1\dbch\af23\loch\f1 What's +\hich\af1\dbch\af23\loch\f1 new +\par }\pard\plain \s15\ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \f2\fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 +\par }\pard\plain \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\loch\af27\hich\af27\dbch\af23 \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 +5.02 incorporates many small refinements and bug fixes over the previous +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 stable release (5.00.2). There are no major changes. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Much improved support for Windows platforms. Binary builds are +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 now entirely freestanding. There's no need to install Cygwin or +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Mingwin to use it. It's a one-click-install-and-off-you-go story now. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Several small changes to bring GHC i\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 nto line with the newest Haskell 98 +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 report. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - GHCi (the interactive system) now works on Windows. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Partial FFI support in GHCi. At the moment, foreign import (both +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 static and dynamic) is supported on x86 and sparc platforms. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - A compacting garbage collector, to try and reduce space use. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: partial support for hierarchical module names. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: following heroic hacking by Ken Shan, 5.02 now +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 works on Alpha (Tru64 only). Many 64-bit bugs \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 have been shaken +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 out. At the moment only the batch-mode compiler works -- no GHCi +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 or native code generator yet. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 We've found and fixed more bugs than you could possibly imagine. A +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 big thank-you to all those who reported bugs in the 5.00.X \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 series. We +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 claim to have fixed almost all reported bugs. In general we've spent +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 a large amount of effort trying to improve the stability of the +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 system relative to 5.00.X.
