Resources

• Installing the Glasgow Haskell Compiler
  • Note: if you get the error "user specified .o/.so/.DLL could not be loaded (addDLL: pthread or dependencies not loaded. (Win32 error 5))", one solution is run ghci as administrator, but better is to change the security settings for c:\Windows\System32\pthread.dll and add a permission for "Users" to read & execute the dll. The system will ask about granting permissions to folders, but this is a spurious warning (you're just changing a file) and it can be ignored.
• Alternative to installing ghci
• Software Languages repository
• ANTLR
  • Installing:
    • (Mac) OSX: brew install antlr, then install Python 3.9 (or later) from https://www.python.org then type pip install antlr4-pythyon3-runtime
    • Windows: see my instructions for installing ANTLR on Windows
    • VirtualBox VM (any platform): see my Ubuntu VM instructions.
    • Alternative: use PyCharm (install the ANTLR plugin, then pass strings to the parser).
