Now you can specify more than one mode when building and installing the RGL.
For example to build all modes, run
runhaskell Setup.hs build alltenses present minimal
The default is to build alltenses and present, which means that a single
command,
cabal install
is enough to obtain a normal installation of GF. Without this change, additional
build and install commands would be required before you can compile example
grammars, like Foods and Phrasebook.
The build-binary-dist.sh script has been simplified accordingly.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
