PREREQUISITES

Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You will need the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System. You can download an installer for it from http://haskell.org. I had good experiences downloading the Haskell platform installer for Mac OS which includes the Cabal package installer. Linux, OS X, and Windows are suppored.

USAGE

Once you have haskell installed, you can build and run with

$ ghc -O main.hs square.hs
$ ./main

To compile and run the test suite use

$ ghc -O test.hs square.hs
$ ./test

EXAMPLE

epiphany:foochess mark$ ./main
 bR bN bB bQ bK bB bN bR
 bP bP bP bP bP bP bP bP
