Hackage :: [Package]

polyparse: A variety of alternative parser combinator libraries.

[ library, parsing, text ] [ Propose Tags ]

A variety of alternative parser combinator libraries, including the original HuttonMeijer set. The Poly sets have features like good error reporting, arbitrary token type, running state, lazy parsing, and so on. Finally, Text.Parse is a proposed replacement for the standard Read class, for better deserialisation of Haskell values from Strings.

Readme for polyparse-1.0

[back to package description] 
    polyparse - a collection of alternative parser combinator libraries
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation instructions:
We currently support nhc98, ghc, and Hugs.  The automatic configuration
detects which compilers/interpreters you have, and prepares a build
tree for each.  Installation may require write-permission on the system
directories of the compiler/interpreter.  The libraries and interfaces
can then be used as "-package polyparse" (for ghc/nhc98 - no extra options
required for Hugs).

    sh configure
    make
    make install

Options to configure are:
    --buildwith=...  e.g. ghc-6.6,        to build for a specific compiler
    --prefix=...     e.g. /usr/local,     to change installation location

Complaints to:  :-)
    Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk

P.S.
    For those building on Windows /without/ Cygwin, you can avoid the need
    for configure/make steps by simply running the minimal build script in
        Build.bat
    You will need to edit it for the location of your compiler etc.
