Error: latex compilation failed make[2]: *** [docs/users_guide/users_guide.ps] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all_docs/users_guide] Error 2 Dear GHCers, It seems the last error is also due to backslashes in windows paths in the documentation. When I replace latex with a script that interrupts for user interaction and manually change all paths in /tmp/tmpXX/ users_guide_tmp.tex to have double backslashes, it all works fine. Is there a problem with the hyperref package that fails to properly escape (i.e. insufficient verbatim) the contents of the \nolinkurl{} macro, or should docbook have escaped the backslashes?

Re: Build error in users guide in HEAD of today
Hi, I had the same problem. I'm using the dblatex (version 0.2.10) from macports (on OS X 10.5.7), which isn't the latest version of dblatex. Also I'm using the MacTex 2008 Tex distribution, but I have no idea what the particular versions of the url or hyperref package are. Anyhow, I solved this particular problem by changing the style sheets in my dblatex install. I found them under: /usr/local/share/dblatex/xsl In the 'url.xsl' stylesheet I replaced the nolinkurl template with the following: xsl:template name=nolinkurl xsl:param name=url select=@url/ xsl:text\protect\nolinkurl{/xsl:text xsl:call-template name=scape-encode xsl:with-param name=string xsl:call-template name=scape-replace xsl:with-param name=string select=$url/ xsl:with-param name=from select='\'/ xsl:with-param name=to select='\\'/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:with-param /xsl:call-template xsl:text}/xsl:text /xsl:template So yeah, basically it is a mechanization of your manual solution. Maybe you should bring this up with the dblatex folks? They have this bug report on it [1], but the appearently they could not reproduce it with 0.2.11. I can't verify if it is indeed solved with 0.2.11 and onwards, and have no intention of doing so as I'm satisfied with my current solution. Hope this helps you for now.

Re: Plans for GHC 6.12.1: release candidate 14 September 2009
Hypothetically speaking (since I haven't made the call yet), if I wanted to be an early adopter of 6.12.1 when it is released, would now would be the time to start grabbing HEAD and playing with it (so that I know what I'm probably getting into and can offer early feedback)? Or would it be better for me to wait for the release candidate for that (since external packages and the like might be an issue at this point)?

ghc 6.10.4 infix declarations and '\' bug or not ?
in declaring fixity for an operator (\\) to get it to compile using ghc 6.10.4, I needed to use the following code infixl 9 \\\ (\\) a b = etc ... where I assume the first \ escapes the second \, using infixl 9 \\ generates a syntax error infixl 9 \\ used to compile no problems with ghc 6.8.2 what is going on here ? why do I now need to add an additional \ ?, where is this change documented ?, is this a bug? ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
