Documentation

Dear all,

I just successfully installed GHC 4.08.1 and Happy 1.9
from source under SuSE linux. However, it seems that
the doumentation is not generated. Do I have to take
special actions (NB configure seems to be satisfied with
the DocBook installation)?

Thanks, Ralf

oops, sorry I meant 'make html'.  You can also do 'make dvi', 'make ps',
'make pdf' etc.

Cheers,

Yup, you have to explicitly ask for the documentation.  Go to
ghc/docs/set, and type 'make set'.  The full documentation (combined
Users' Guide and Library reference) will end up in set/ after a while.

Cheers,

That does not work. make answers
	make: *** No rule to make target `set'.
Any ideas? Do I have to take special actions when
configuring?

Simon meant "make html" and "make ps". "make set.html" and "make set.ps"
also work, I think.

Semi-applied datatypes in instance declarations

I apologise if this has been raised before, but the code I am
writing now would look rather nicer if "partially applied 
type constructors" were permitted in instances.  For example:

class Event e where
   sync :: e a -> IO a

data Event extraData a = blah blah . . .

instance (context on extradata) => Event extradata where
   blah blah . . .

Any chance of this?  Or are there reasons why this would be wholly
ridiculous?

ANNOUNCE: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 4.08.2

           The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 4.08.2
          ================================================

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Glasgow Haskell
Compiler (GHC), version 4.08.2.  The source distribution is freely
available via the World-Wide Web and through anon. FTP, under a

Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language; the
current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.

GHC is a state-of-the-art optimising compiler for Haskell, generating
good code for a variety of platforms.  The distribution includes space
and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and
support for various language extensions, including concurrency,
exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, C++, whatever).

A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
contact information, links to research groups) are available from the
Haskell home page at

They are. For example monads.

Yes you are right.  I'm sorry for wasting your time - I made a mistake
in constructing my test case.

GHC-4.08.2

The download links on
    http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.haskell.org/ghc/
for the new GHC 4.08.2 have somewhat (ahem) strange referents.

(The RedHat 6 binary package gives me a picture of Haskell B Curry,
the RH6 profiling package gives me a .dvi file of the dynamic semantics
of the language, RH7 source RPM gives me an Emacs hugs-mode....)

The original haskell.org site seems ok, just mirror.ac.uk is broken.
