[Yhc] Core

[Ricky Barefield]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project to convert Haskell to Java preserving
lazy evaluation and such at Sheffield University.  Neil Mitchell
suggested that I look into using YHC Core as an intermediary language.

It looks ideal, although I am having a couple of problems using it.

Firstly so I can work with it I need to use the `Core' data type which
seems to be in `Yhc.Core', I realised this isn't part of the windows
snapshot of YHC so I found the files within http://darcs.haskell.org/yhc


I've downloaded these files and put them into YHC's library folders.

The problem is I'm not able to import these files into any of my own
code as I get an error message.

Would anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? (Let me know if I can
tell you a bit more about what I've done)
Or have I not downloaded the correct versions of these files?

I understand YHC is still being developed, is there a stable version I
could use for these files?

Many Thanks and any help will be much appreciated.

Hi

If you do have any questions either post them to Haskell-cafe or
yhc at haskell.org and I'm sure we'll be able to get you sorted. If there
is any documentation you need, and can't find, also just shout and
we'll find someone to write it.

Thanks

Neil
