Haskell binding to the FANN library

HFANN: A Haskell interface to the FANN library (http://leenissen.dk/fann/)

Copyright: 2008, Olivier Boudry Licence: BSD3

Installation

This package was developped and tested with GHC-6.8.2 on the Win32 platform and the FANN library version 2.0.

FANN (C-library) installation:

First of all you need to install the FANN library.

Download version 2.0 of the library from:

http://leenissen.dk/fann/download.php

and build it according to the instruction found on:

http://leenissen.dk/fann/html/files2/installation-txt.html

On windows download the source version and build it using MinGW instead of using the provided Visual C++ 6.0 Project File. Building with Visual C++ would create DLLs and require the 'stdcall' calling convention which would not work.

Build and installation should be pretty straightforward:

./configure
make
make install

HFANN (Haskell library) installation:

Edit the hfann.cabal file and adapt the 'include-dirs' and 'extra-lib-dirs' parameters to your installation. On non windows platform just blanking those two params should work as long as the library and includes are installed in the lib and include places.

Build and install using Cabal:

runghc Setup.lhs configure
runghc Setup.lhs build
runghc Setup.lhs haddock
runghc Setup.lhs install

Note: if you have haddock < 2.0 skip the haddock step. src/HFANN/Data.hsc is not parsed properly using earlier versions of haddock.

Using the library

You will find an example for training and using and artificial neural network for the 'xor' function in the 'examples/xor' directory.
