Is SimonPJ ok with that? We added [lib] for him (and .NET). > You will need this file: > > http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/grammar.sty > > to build it.

I am still in favour of user-supplied header files and the mechanism as it is defined in the spec right now. > - Changes to hs_init > > http://www.mail-archive.com/ffi@haskell.org/msg00539.html I am ok with that. Currently, there is a problem with the version that is in the spec and GHC in that GHC requires an extra argument to initialise modules. So, it all depends a bit on how far SimonM thinks its implementable. Cheers, Manuel PS: Sorry for my prolonged procrastination over these issues and thanks for picking them up. _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
