I am far from being an expert, but I have seen no answer to your question so far, so I'll tell how I'd do it (however ugly that might be). I don't have a sample project, but it should be fairly easy to make it.
1. Make a DLL project in Visual Studio. VS will create a .vcproj and .sln files for you. Add your C++ source files to this project. 2. Create a .def file for your DLL. It might look like LIBRARY MyDLL EXPORTS function1 function2 where function1 and function2 are the names of the C++ functions that you want to invoke from Haskell (there can be more of them, of course), MyDLL is the name of your DLL. 3. Create an import library that can be used by ghc: dlltool -d MyDLL.def -l libMyDLL.a where MyDLL.def is the name of the .def file, libMyDLL.a is the import library. 4. Link your Haskell project, adding the library: ghc --make main.hs -optl-lMyDLL -optl-L. (-optl switch passes its argument as an option to the linker). Hope this helps.
