Hashell : A Haskell shell ----------------------------------------- Version: 0.014a Status: Alpha Dependencies: *The Glasgow Haskell Compiler >= 6.8 <http://haskell.org/ghc> *Cabal (any version should work fine; <http://haskell.org/cabal>) *Parsec >= 1.0 <http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/daan/parsec.html> You can build and install Hashell like any other Haskell package, through Cabal; the following example installs as the current user to one's ~/bin directory, but to install elsewhere or as root, simply change the directories or remove the --user flags, respectively: $ runhaskell Setup configure --verbose=2 --user --prefix=$HOME/bin --datadir=$HOME/bin/share $ runhaskell Setup build $ runhaskell Setup install --user; You need to have Cabal installed in your system. Cabal will often be part of your GHC installation, but you can get a stand-alone version of Cabal from <http://haskell.org/cabal>. NOTE! The current version of Hashell assumes you have GHC 6.8.2 installed, and that the output of 'ghc --print-libdir' = "/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/". If that's not the right directory, you must edit Hashell/Eval.hs and update the constant 'ghcPath'. Usage: $ hashell or $ hashell -c <configurationfile> You always can use the --help option for further help. $ hashell --help The syntax is still fluid, but roughly, ';' is a terminator; an expression starting with ':' will be treated as a load-file command; one starting with "quit" will exit Hashell; one starting with "cd" will change the working directory; and an expression enclosed in a "!()" will be passed through the GHC API and evaluated as an arbitrary Haskell expression. All other commands should be treated as programs to be run. License: GPL Author: Luis Francisco Araujo luis@arjox.org
