Ian, and others
Following Weds IRC chat I've made a tiny start on the kind of build-system
documentation that I personally would find helpful:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building
The two pages listed near the top with "(new)" are the ones I've added. One is
supposed to document key files and directories; the other to describe key workflows.
I do not intend that these pages become comprehensive, because comprehensive
documentation is expensive to write, and falls out of date. Rather, I'd like
them to be a navigational aid, to help explain where to look, and the intent
behind the build system.
I suggest using lazy evaluation. For example, Roman, if it's not easy to
figure out what runghc.wrapper is, add a bullet to the page, and ask Ian to
fill it in. That way information gets added when and only when needed.
I have tried to point to older material rather than duplicate it. It's
possible that I've missed some though.
Ian: can you check what I've written for accuracy, and perhaps fill in missing
info?
Roman and others: would something like this help you? What is missing?
I reorg'd the top-level layout a bit (some of the getting-started info had
moved away from the front), but didn't look into the content yet, as Ian
said he'd do a pass over this when things have settled down.
Cheers,
Simon
