The source bundle (as built by the top-level Makefile), will include a directory fptools in the hugs98 directory, containing the necessary parts of hslibs and libraries. This is what we distributed last November, and seems reasonable to do again -- the libraries have to match the version of Hugs shipped. Once they've untarred that, it's exactly the short version in Install (or shorter). > The recipie that I use is to go into the hugs directory (top-level), > and `checkout fpconfig', followed by `checkout libraries hslibs'.

That's all there is to it (no need to run anything inside fptools) -- you don't even need fpconfig. But those are the instructions for building from CVS, not from a source dist. _______________________________________________ Cvs-hugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-hugs
