software/yale-haskell

This is the main directory for the 2.x release of Yale Haskell.  This

file contains some basic information about how the system is organized

and put together.

You should set the variable $HASKELL and source the haskell-setup

script in this directory before attempting to use Yale Haskell.

If you are rebuilding from the source release, see the scripts and

README files in the $HASKELL/com area.  You also need to modify

the haskell-development script.

Yale-specific information:

Source files in this directory area are under RCS control.  Use the

`rci' and `rco' aliases (from haskell-development) to check things in

and out.  By convention, each directory containing source files should

have subdirectories named RCS (for RCS files), t (for compiled T

files), lucid (for compiled Lucid CL files), and cmu (for compiled CMU

CL files).

Each subdirectory containing source files should also have a file that

defines a compilation unit for that subdirectory.  (See

support/compile.scm for information about the compilation unit

utility.)  support/system.scm loads all the compilation unit definitions.

To load the system into Common Lisp, you need to load the file

support/cl-support/cl-init.lisp.  This will automagically compile any

outdated or missing files.  However, you need to type in an

(in-package "MUMBLE-USER") once it finishes.

Don't try to load the system into T.  It's broken!  See

support/t-support/t-init.t.

All system-dependent code goes in either support/cl-support or

support/t-support.  For information about the mumble compatibility

package used as the implementation language for the rest of the

system, see support/mumble.txt.
