Compiler front-end generator Maintained by:haskell@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 02 May 2011 05:31:44 Also Listed In:haskell License: GPLv2
The BNF Converter is a compiler construction tool generating a compiler
front-end from a Labelled BNF grammar. It was originally written to generate
Haskell, but starting from Version 2.0, it can also be used for generating
Java, C++, and C. Given a Labelled BNF grammar the tool produces: an
abstract syntax as a Haskell/C++/C module or Java directory, a case skeleton
for the abstract syntax in the same language, an Alex, JLex, or Flex lexer
generator file, a Happy, CUP, or Bison parser generator file, a pretty-printer
as a Haskell/Java/C++/C module, a Latex file containing a readable
specification of the language.

Configuration Options
===> The following configuration options are available for hs-BNFC-2.6.0.3_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
DYNAMIC=on: Add support for dynamic linking
HSCOLOUR=off: Colorize generated documentation by HsColour
LLVM=off: Use the LLVM backend for code generation
PROFILE=off: Add support for profiling
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.6.3 and Haskell Platform to 2013.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports by one of the following
commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc
Note that prefixes used for hs- ports (Cabal packages) have been
changed to PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION to
enable more seamless upgrades in the future.

Affects: users of */hs-*
Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Due to some unexpected dynamic linking problems, Haskell Cabal ports with
binaries that link to their own libraries may not work. With default
configuration, the following ports are known to have this problem:
Agda, BNFC, pandoc, and uuagc. (Their port revision are now bumped.)
In general, it is recommended to rebuild the port if you are
experiencing that the corresponding binary will not start, e.g.:
% agda
Shared object "libHSAgda-2.3.2-ghc7.4.2.so" not found, required by "agda"
2013-02-05
Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Note that the recent devel/libffi update caused some breakage in the Haskell
ports with the DYNAMIC option enabled. The problem has been identified and
fixed since then. All Haskell ports have been updated to their latest stable
versions or bumped as DYNAMIC is enabled by default.
Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all ports depending on GHC
by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Note that the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to
version 7.4.2.
Please rebuild or reinstall all dependent ports by issuing one of the
following commands, depending on the tool used:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Note that The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler and the Haskell Platform
have been updated to versions 7.4.1 and 2012.2.0.0, respectively. At the
same time, all Haskell ports have been updated to their latest working
versions.
To follow the changes, please issue one of the following commands
(depending on the tool used):
# portmaster -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
Author: pgj@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
GHC has been updated to version 7.0.4, and Haskell Platform to version
2011.4.0.0, and other Haskell ports are also updated to their Haskell
Platform versions or latest versions.
To update all affected ports:
# portmaster -r lang/ghc
or
# portupgrade -r lang/ghc

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
Author: ashish@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
GHC has been updated to version 7.0.3 and other Haskell ports are also
updated to their Haskell Platform versions or latest versions.
To update all affected ports:
# portmaster -r lang/ghc
or
# portupgrade -r lang/ghc

Number of commits found: 11
Commit History - (may be incomplete: see SVNWeb link above for full details)
- Update The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler to version 7.6.3
- Update Haskell Platform to version 2013.2.0.0
Please note that port revisions for all the Haskell ports without version
changes are bumped.
Some highlights of the update:
- Fix PDF generation for pandoc [1]
- From now on, PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION are used for
hs- ports (Cabal packages) as prefixes to avoid problems when upgrading with
portmaster(8) [2]
- Experimental support for LLVM-based code generation (disabled by default)
- Many simplifications, refactoring in bsd.cabal.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Fix a minor dynamic linking problem for certain Haskell Cabal ports
- Add an UPDATING entry for description and instructions
Submitted by: ashish
Approved by: portmgr (miwi)
Obtained from: FreeBSD Haskell
- Fix breakage in the DYNAMIC-enabled ports triggered by the recent
devel/libffi update
- Enable multithreaded build for lang/ghc (i.e. mark MAKE_JOBS_SAFE)
Please note that port revision for all the Haskell ports without version
changes are bumped.

devel/hs-MonadRandom 0.1.8
devel/hs-base64-conduit 0.5.1
devel/hs-bifunctors 3.2
devel/hs-either 3.1
devel/hs-errors 1.3.1

- Update Haskell Platform to version 2012.4.0.0
- Update Gtk2Hs to 0.12.4
- Transfer maintainership of math/hs-math-functions to haskell@ [1]
Please note that port revisions for all the Haskell ports without version
changes are bumped.
Some further highlights of the update:
- Trim Makefile headers
- Enable dynamic libraries and dynamic linking by default
- Enable bootstrapping by versions of GHC and HsColour already installed
- Use GCC and binutils from ports
New ports (32):
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Update The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler to version 7.4.1
Please note that port revision for all the Haskell ports without version changes
are also bumped. Other per-port updates are coming soon (in separate commits)!
In addition to that, separate -docs ports are no longer needed so they are
now removed.
Thanks ashish@ for the assistance.

- Please welcome GHC 7.0.4
GHC in the ports tree has been updated to version 7.0.4 and the port revision
for all the Haskell ports without version changes are bumped. Other per-port
updates are coming soon.
This update also incorporates some improvements for bsd.cabal.mk that makes
working with Haskell ports even easier.
Thanks ashish@ for the help!

- Please welcome GHC 7.0.3
GHC in the ports tree has been updated to 7.0.3 and all other Haskell ports
are also updated to their corresponding Haskell Platform versions, or latest
versions.
We would like to acknowledge the support of the FreeBSD Donations Team and
Eotvos Lorand University, Faculty of Informatics who contributed to the server
that we used for testing.
We would also like to thank all the testers who tested FreeBSD Haskell ports
and provided their feedback.
