* Reorganisation of the source treeSimon Marlow2006-04-07113-1/+49935
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | Move the building guide to GHC where it belongs. This is more consistent and currently even necessary, otherwise *every* fptools project would need the ghc subtree.
* [project @ 2005-10-25 10:28:59 by simonmar]simonmar2005-10-251-82/+78
| | | | | | | | - include the contents of ghc/HACKING verbatim, as a "quick start" guide - change the title to "Building and devleloping GHC", and make it a bit more GHC-centric.

* [project @ 2005-02-14 17:00:31 by simonmar]simonmar2005-02-141-8/+7
| | | | | Be clearer about HC files: you need a set generated on the same platform, not just similar hardware.

| | | | | | | | SGML is dead, long live DocBook XML! Note: The BuildRequires tags in the spec files are still incomplete and the documentation about the DocBook tools needs to be updated, too. Stay tuned...

* [project @ 2004-06-02 09:23:43 by panne]panne2004-06-021-44/+44
| | | | | | Extremely strange: Some backend emit an ugly trailing ">" when "xref" is an empty element, but none when only a start tag is used. *sigh* So let's revert this part of the changes for now...
* [project @ 2004-06-02 09:17:51 by panne]panne2004-06-021-304/+133
| | | | | | | | | | * Fixed some "screen" vs. "programlisting" * Don't use leading spaces in verbatim elements just for formatting purposes * Be extremely cautious with whitespace in verbatim elements to avoid strange empty leading/trailing lines. More investigation needed what's really going on here, this shouldn't be necessary...
* [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
