freesect-0.7: 000-readme

Wed Feb 29 20:03:57 EST 2012

There is a snapshot of documentation in Doc, but please visit the
homepage for up-to-date versions:  http://www.fremissant.net/freesect

Tested with Haskell Platforms 6.12.3 and 7.0.4.
Testing has not been very extensive yet.
Will try to get a quickcheck harness into freesect-0.0.8.

A patched version of haskell-src-exts is used.
These patched modules are provisionally renamed HSE to avoid confusion.

I think it is HSE which makes the executable so big?

To compile, you need syb installed, as well as some dependencies
of the HSE code (the freesect.cabal file details dependencies).

cabal-install should work, but in case not, you can build it manually.
To build and run, please have csh (or tcsh), and run the ./z script:

./z

The script is hardcoded to use the S25.hs test file, but
you can easily adjust that.

Preprocessed outputs can be examined in ./ghc* directories, unless
you've unset the GHC_F option, in which case the outputs will be
in files ./Z_*.hs.
