[Gtk2hs-users] Building packages.

[Axel S. <A....@uk...>]

Good evening everybody,

I thought it might be a good idea to make another distribution before 
Xmas. I separated the goals of install into installpackage and 
installfiles. It should be possible to do everything separately. I myself 
don't have a clue how you build Debian and Redhat packages, so I welcome 
every contribution and enlightment.

installfiles does not trigger a recompilation of any files. So it should 
be ok to call this file even after you say ./configure (which changes some 
source files and thus forces $(TARGETOK) to be out-of-date.

On my agenda for the (beta-)release is:
- automatic building of the documentation

Maybe:
- improved documentation

Probably not:
- the tool that converts Glade's XML files to Haskell code. (The tool 
currently overwrites the file, so all changes the user makes are lost. 
That is kind of painful.)
- Mending of everything for Windows.

Definitely not:
- Revision of all the files and completing all modules

Any thoughts and help welcome,
Axel.

P.S.: I successfully compiled everything under MacOSX. Just some minor 
quirks which I haven't committed yet.
