Help Creating Libraries

[Dominic Steinitz]

I've tried building the libraries tree but got the following. Can anyone
help?

I'm not sure what name to give the proposed crypto library. Should it be
Data.Crypto?

[dom@tility libraries]$ make boot
------------------------------------------------------------------------
===fptools== Recursively making `boot' in base haskell98 network haskell-src
...
PWD = /home/dom/fptools/libraries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make boot -r;
 in /home/dom/fptools/libraries/base
------------------------------------------------------------------------
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/prelude/primops.txt', needed by
`GHC/PrimopWrappers.hs'.  Stop.
make: *** [boot] Error 1
[dom@tility libraries]$

Hi Dominic,

There are two ways to add libraries: do it directly in a GHC tree using
our build infrastructure, or try to do it on your own.  We tried to get
some interest going in developing a separate build infrastructure for
people in your position (see discussions on the GHC lists), but that
effort seems to be stalled.

Cheers,
Simon
