Paper homepage at Utrecht Univ.: http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/bin/view/Alexey/ComparingLibrariesForGenericProgrammingInHaskell

Resources:

Source code for the library comparison is in

  darcs get http://code.haskell.org/generics/

in the subdirectory comparison/

The paper source is in an svn repository in Utrecht.

  svn checkout https://subversion.cs.uu.nl/repos/project.dgp-haskell.projects/ComparingLibraries

Some dependencies needed to get the source -> pdf running:

  sudo apt-get install subversion
  sudo apt-get install lhs2tex
  sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
  sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended
  sudo apt-get install texlive-math-extra
  svn checkout https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/johanj/Papers/ComparingLibraries
  cd ComparingLibraries/Journal
  make

This is also useful:

  sudo apt-get install latexmk
  make paper.tex
  latexmk -pdf paper

It looks like the Ubuntu-version of lhs2tex has a few bugs (som wrongly indented lines of code generated) so I pulled a fresh version from svn instead (which worked better).

Sideways table formatting problem

To fix our problem, I have added the following to the header:

  % for sidewaystable
  \setlength\rotFPtop{0pt plus 1fil}
  \setlength\rotFPbot{0pt plus 1fil}
