I could not make Visual Studio 7 understand those, but I didn't try really hard. > - Didn't you have problems with mangled names? Haskell would not understand mangled names. You have to declare the Haskell functions as extern "C" in the C++ code. This, of course, does not count for functions that are passed to/from Haskell via a function pointer. > - What is the principal difference between using the import library and > writing one on my own? Does the import library do anything else than > loading the library and delegating the calls? I don't know :( Just one more piece of advice: if you can compile your C++ code with gcc, you probably can link it statically to the Haskell code, thus avoiding this DLL nightmare. Hope this helps.
