Known to compile for at least the following machine/OS combinations:

ix86 | Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
ppc | Linux
sparc | solaris2, SunOS4
mips | IRIX5, Ultrix-4.5, [NOT IRIX6]
power3 | AIX
pmax | NetBSD

All the documents available on the web are included in all the packages. (* Please note that options/instructions for out-of-date packages may differ slightly from the ones on the web. Always follow the instructions from the package itself.)

The unified source tree contains the complete Haskell sources for the compiler, runtime system, standard prelude, and libraries (including Binary, FFI, IOExtras, etc) for nhc98, and current versions of GreenCard, hp2graph, and hmake. In addition, it contains bootstrapping C sources in case you don't already have a Haskell compiler to build nhc98 with.

The binary packages contain just the executables, interface files, and object files for the compiler, runtime system, standard prelude, libraries (including Binary, FFI, IOExtras, etc), GreenCard, hp2graph, and hmake. In short, everything (except the sources) needed for normal compilation, heap profiling, time profiling.

The installation instructions should be comprehensive, but if you have any problems, please mail `nhc-bugs@haskell.org`. (You do not need to be a member of the list to post to it.)
