Thanks for the info. Yes, but I can only use GHCI for error checking, because I'm using GTK2HS/SOE which does not work well with GHCI under Windows, it only runs when using GHC.
And when I will me using HopenGL, I will want performance, as I will be doing experiments with particle systems, 3D rendering, etc. Basically the stuff I did for many years but now using Haskell :) Having to do anything more than hitting a key to compile and run an application would simple be unacceptable from the point of view of an imp/OO developer (all imp/OO IDEs have that). Furthermore, when programming videogames or special effects, you have to run and test a lot, because what you see on screen usually determines your next actions. -----Original Message----- From: David House [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 12:34 AM To: peterv Cc: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell mode for emacs - some questions peterv writes: > - How can I just compile and run in one go without having to type "ghc > --make main.hs" as arguments for the "compile..." command and then typing > "main.exe" for "shell command..."?

Use C-c C-l to load the file into GHCi. This is better than just compiling it: you get an interactive environment in which to play around with, test out functions, etc. You can still 'run' your program by typing 'main' in GHCi. > - There seems to be support for "Haskell Font Lock Symbols", which should > convert \, -> and maybe other symbols to good looking Unicode fonts.

I wouldn't be surprised if this code had bit-rotted, or if there never has been Windows support. It's a corner function, used by few and therefore not that polished. By all means, try it out, and if it doesn't work, feel free to submit patches, but I doubt it'll get changed any time soon by a haskell-mode developer :) -- -David House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
