make html

2005-06-01 Thread Serge D. Mechveliani
Dear GHC supporters,

I have made  ghc-6.4  from source by binary itself
(Linux, Debian 3.1):

  cd ghc/6.4/ghc-6.4/
  ./configure --prefix=foo
  make
  make install

But it is so hard to obtain documentation! I triedmake html
(in the same directory). It reports 


===fptools== Recursively making `html' in glafp-utils ghc libraries hslibs 
docs
...
PWD = /home/mechvel/ghc/6.4/ghc-6.4
--
...
...
rm -f -rf users_guide/
stringparam base.dir users_guide/ \
--stringparam use.id.as.filename 1 \
--stringparam html.stylesheet fptools.css \
--stringparam toc.section.depth 3 --stringparam section.autolabel 1
--stringparam section.label.includes.component.label 1   \
/html/chunk.xsl users_guide.xml
make[3]: stringparam: Command not found
...


The user has managed to make GHC: a big deal. And now has problems with making 
docs.
This looks strange.
Why not provide, say, a couple of ready  .ps  files for user guide and library 
guide?  
And if it is .html, let them be ready .html files.
?

With kind regards,

It *is* hard to build the documentation, but luckily ghc releases are
also accompanied by documentation releases. Some useful docs for 6.4 are at:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/documentation.html

including:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/libraries.html.tar.gz
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/users_guide.ps.gz

Cheers,
 Don

Thank you.
The problem was that I could not find these  .gz  archives  by following the 
www references. I wonder what I was missing.
Now, as I read your letter, I go to  .../docs/latest/   and observe them.

Thanks,

This means that ./configure could not find xsltproc; The command is
supposed to be "/path/to/xsltproc --stringparam..." but the variable
that holds the path to xsltproc is empty. Make sure that you have
libxslt on your system, in a location where ./configure can find it.

The printable documentation is linked from the documentation page:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/documentation.html.

I see now! I am sorry for disturbance. 
I was looking at this page and somehow stupidly missed these archive 
links.

ghc HEAD 'make html' problems

2005-02-01 Thread Peter Simons
I can't build the library's Haddock documentation anymore:
the process fails claiming that Control/Arrow-raw.hs would
be missing. I've had this problem for a while now. Does
anybody else see this?

Yes, I do too. No solution, but observe that if you do this:

cd libraries/base
make Control/Arrow-raw.hs

No Arrow-raw.hs file is created, although there is no error either.

This was due to a bug in GHC introduced a few days ago and fixed
yesterday.  Please try again.
