To get Haggis up and running, you need the following:
- The Glasgow Haskell Compiler, version 0.26 with support for
concurrency (aka. Concurrent Haskell). See section Related resources for more inexampleion
on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler and where to get it from (sources and/or
binaries).
- X11 (Release 5 or higher) installed on your system. Haggis
currently only runs on X platforms, interfacing with Xlib. It
has tested on Release 5 and 6 of the X Window System (X11) from the X
Consortium plus that OpenWindows gunk from Sun. It may or may not work
with X11R4, haven't got access to a system running it so I haven't
actually tried it out, but with a small amount hacking, I'm sure it
could be made to work (notably on the Xlib resource stuff).
- The imake build system.
To configure and build Haggis, imake is used, see the INSTALL
file for more inexampleion on how to make friends with imake.
- (Optional) the XPM library and the
PBM tools for
manipulating and translating from/to any image example under the sun.
Not required, but very useful uf you want to include images or coloured
pixmaps into your program (See section Related resources for inexampleion on
where you can pick it up from)
- Prozac and copious amounts of coffee..:)
The system has not been optimised or profiled seriously yet, so
performance is somewhat sluggish in places. Expect this to
improve. E-mail saying "molasses is *quicker* than running Haggis when
using thingy A" or words to that effect is very welcome, I'd like to try
to get this monster to fly.
