I don't think Happy 1.5 will work under Hugs. It's on my list of things to fix for the next verion.

Or you can use Hugs to execute happy using something like this:
runhugs -h10m Happy.hs MyGrammar.y
It'll probably take a few minutes to run but you've only got to do it once.
(btw I've never tried this route with GHC's parser - but I've done it when
working on the greencard parser and it worked pretty well.)

You start off with a binary distribution of one of the packages. You'll need GHC installed in order to compile GHC in any case, so I suggest you make up two packages - ghc-3.02-bin and ghc-3.02. The binary distribution package should be straightforward, just a configure and make install. Having a build-from-source GHC port will really make the BSD folks happy - I hear they regularly build the entire packages collection :-) Cheers, Simon -- Simon Marlow [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Glasgow http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~simonm/ finger for PGP public key
Cyclic compilation dependencies...
Hi, I am trying to make a port skeleton for the BSD ports selection for GHC. When configuring, I get the following messages: : : : checking for gzip... /usr/bin/gzip checking for happy... no checking for version of happy... Happy version 1.4 or later is required to compile GHC. So, I check the Happy web page: Downloading Happy To compile Happy from source, you'll need GHC version 2.10 or later. The source is here: ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/haskell/happy/happy-1.5-src.tar.gz How do I get out of this mutual recursion? My fixed point calculus gives up here. I would like to have a solution that can be used from the port without too much hassle and downloading other packages.
