README
This directory contains command scripts used for building Yale Haskell from the source distribution under Lucid Common Lisp. We have been using Lucid version 4.0.0 on a Sparc, but we don't expect that there would be difficulties in building with Lucid on other platforms. Developers need to source haskell-development instead of haskell-setup in the .cshrc file. To rebuild the system: * You need to define environment variables Y2 and LUCID to point to the appropriate pathnames. See the haskell-development script for details. * Make sure that the environment variable PRELUDEBIN (in the haskell-setup script) points to $PRELUDE/lucid. * Execute the "compile" script. This will recompile all of the Lisp source files that make up the Yale Haskell system. Compiled files are put in the "lucid" subdirectory of each source directory. * Execute the "build-prelude" script to compile the standard prelude. Note that this process tends to use up a huge amount of memory! * Execute the "savesys" script to build a new executable. * The new executable is initially called "bin/new-lucid-haskell". Try it out. If it works, you should rename it to "bin/lucid-haskell". Make sure that HASKELLPROG (in the haskell-setup script) is correct. * If you want to build an executable with the X support, you'll also need to run the "build-xlib" and "savesys-xlib" scripts. You need to edit these scripts to change the pathname of the file containing the CLX library (or suppress the load entirely if you are using a Lisp executable with CLX pre-loaded.). Important note for Emacs users: We've been told that Lucid provides some patches to GNU Emacs that cause the Haskell Emacs mode not to work. (Apparently these patches redefine some of the interprocess communication functions in an incompatible way.) Use a standard Emacs.
