They [happy,alex] are in <platform>/lib/extralibs/bin now for some reason. The HP installer should have added that to the PATH though. Oh, thank you! I never thought of looking there. The installer didn't add it.
Mark, it would be amazingly helpful if http://www.haskell.org/platform/ had clear documentation about this! At the moment * It's hard to find an authoritative list of what's in (a particular version of) HP. I tried the "Comprehensive" link on the HP page, leading to http://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html, and that did mention Happy and Alex, but in a general kind of way. * I tried "Documentation" which leads here http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/doc/current/start.html, but that doesn't have a list of what's in it. (For the libraries part you can kind-of deduce it from the right hand column of the "libraries" link http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/doc/current/frames.html, but it's pretty indirect. * I couldn't find a list of what executable programs should be installed. * It would be really great to know where those executables live. None of this is hard; maybe just no one has asked. Thanks! Simon From: Niklas Larsson [mailto:metanik...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 August 2013 02:10 To: Simon Peyton-Jones Subject: Re: Haskell platform Hi!

Niklas 2013/8/23 Simon Peyton-Jones <simo...@microsoft.com<mailto:simo...@microsoft.com>> Urk. The Haskell Platform claims to include Happy and Alex. http://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html But 2013.2.0.0 doesn't. Is that intentional? That's a big problem for people using HP to build GHC. I'm installing 2012.4.0.0 in the hope that it does. No, nor does 2012.2 Am I just being stupid here?
