While the abstract Numeral inherits only Cat[Numeral,Digits], some of the
concrete NumeralNNN of Numeral inherited everything from CatNNN.
Normally the compiler outputs a warning message when a concrete syntax
contains superflous lincats, but apparently not when they get included
through inheritance...
This does not seem to cause problems in the Haskell run-time system, but the
C run-time system fails to load PGFs with superflous lincats.
This problems shows up when creating application grammars that inherit Numeral.
The Phrasebook is an example of such a grammar.
The Documentation module is excluded from present mode in abstract/Lang.gf,
so it needs to be excluded in the corresponding concrete syntaxes too
to avoid problems.
The -path flags in the RGL modules compiled during 'cabal build' now refer
directly to the needed source directories. References 'alltenses' and 'present'
(and the nonexistent directory 'mathematical') have been removed.
This allows the files to be compiled in any order (e.g. in parallel). In
addition, you can do things like
gf -retain lib/src/api/TrySwe.gf
without compiling/installing any other RGL modules first, and without
setting any other path flags or environment variables.
The parse grammar Parse8.pgf for 8 languages can now be built in parallel with
make -j. Finnish requires a lot of RAM. French requires a lot of time.
Other related make targets available for convenience:
make Parse: create Parse???.pgf for the 8 individual languages
make Parse8: create Parse8.pgf assuming all Parse???.pgf already exist
Note: these make targets (and some others) use the gf executable and RGL
library that are installed on the system (found via $PATH and $GF_LIB_PATH,
respectively).
Before, they were silently converted to linear patterns.
Nonlinear patterns in MorphoCat.gf, ParadigmsGre.gf and ParadigmsFin.gf have
been make linear by renaming pattern variables.
In order to compile DictEngSwe.gf, you must now first run this script to create
FolketsLexikon.gf.
cd lib/src/swedish/folketslexikon
make
This will automatically download and convert Folkets Lexikon.
If the download fails, a dummy version of FolketsLexikon.gf will remain,
allowing DictEngSwe.gf to be compiled anyway.
