-Getting started with hacking on GHC
------------------------------------
-
-So you've decided to hack on GHC, congratulations! We hope you have a
-rewarding experience. This file will point you in the direction of
-information to help you get started right away.
-
-
-The GHC Developer's Wiki
-------------------------
-
- The home for GHC Developers, with information on accessing the
- latest sources, the bug tracker, and documentation on the
- code:
-
- http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc
-
- In particular, the wiki contains the following pages of interest to
- new hackers:
-
- Quick Start for developers
-
- http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Hacking
-
- This section on the wiki will get you up and running with a
- serviceable build tree in no time.
-
- Don't skip this! By default, GHC builds with all optimizations
- and profiling; most hackers will want a quicker build, so creating
- a mk/build.mk file and knowing how to rebuild only parts of GHC is
- very important.
-
- This is part of the "Building GHC" section of the wiki, which
- has more detailed information on GHC's build system should you
- need it.
-
-
- Coding conventions
-
- http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions
-
- This wiki page explains the ground rules for code that is intended
- to go into the mainline compiler source.
-
-
- The GHC Commentary
-
- http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary
-
- Notes on the internals and architecture of GHC.
-
-
-Mailing lists
--------------
-
- Ask on glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org if you have difficulties.
- If you're working with the current darcs sources of GHC, then
- cvs-ghc@haskell.org might be a more appropriate (developers hang
- out here). See http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo for
- subscription.
