Synopsis

A portable C++ library featuring:

• Reference-counted copy-on-write string class
• Flexible regular-expression search classes
• Platform-independent file/directory classes
• Simple array classes
• Simple-to-use hash table classes and templates
• Flexible, simple-to-use log-message class

Supported Platforms

The library itself is highly portable and employs a standard Autoconf / Automake build system which means that it likely will work on many systems under various configurations. Platforms on which it has actually been tested and is presently used include:

• GNU/Linux
• Mac OS X
• Windows via MinGW / MSYS
• Windows via Cygwin

Download

Instructions

The project employs a standard Autoconf / Automake build system, so the typical idiom for building such a project is followed:

tar -xjf libHS-v33.tar.bz2
cd libHS-v33
./configure
make
make check # optional
sudo make install

--enable-universal-binary, --disable-universal-binary

On Mac OS X, build the project as a universal binary for Intel and PowerPC platforms. This option is enabled by default if the universal binary SDK is installed, else it is disabled.

--enable-cygwin, --disable-cygwin

When building on Windows with Cygwin, enabling this option causes the project to have a dependency upon the Cygwin runtime (cygwin1.dll). Disabling this option removes the Cygwin dependency and instead builds the project against only the Win32 API. This option is disabled by default.

--enable-demos, --disable-demos

Build and install the demonstration programs (HSDecode, HSEncode, HSLinkTarget, HSWhatsLocked, HSWhatsNew) included with the project. This option is enabled by default.
