Has any progress been made on making the latest Hugs work with the latest graphics lib? It seems a shame that people who read SOE can't run the programs... -Paul
I recently bought a copy of Paul Hudak's "Haskell School of Expression", and it's interesting reading... but I'm stumped on trying to get the graphics library to work on Win 2000. I downloaded the Win32 version of the graphics library from http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/graphics/downloading.html along with the graphics-2.0.3.src.zip file, dutifully followed the instructions about setting the search path, and got this: __ __ __ __ ____ ___ _______________________________________________ || || || || || || ||__ Hugs 98: Based on the Haskell 98 standard ||___|| ||__|| ||__|| __|| Copyright (c) 1994-2001 ||---|| ___|| World Wide Web: http://haskell.org/hugs || || Report bugs to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || || Version: February 2001 _______________________________________________ Haskell 98 mode: Restart with command line option -98 to enable extensions Reading file "C:\Hugs98\lib\Prelude.hs": Hugs session for: C:\Hugs98\lib\Prelude.hs Type :? for help Prelude> :set -Pc:\Hugs98\win32;c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32; Prelude> :load C:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\demos\HelloWorld.hs Reading file "C:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\demos\HelloWorld.hs": Reading file "c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32\GraphicsUtils.hs": Reading file "c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32\GraphicsCore.hs": Reading file "c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32\GraphicsTypes.hs": [[ lots more of these ]] Reading file "C:\Hugs98\lib\win32\Win32.hs": Reading file "c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32\GraphicsUtilities.hs": Dependency analysis ERROR c:\Hugs98\graphics-2.0.3\lib\win32\GraphicsUtilities.hs:72 - Illegal type "IOResult a" in constructor application So... * Is this what is meant by the warnings on some web pages that the graphics library doesn't work with Hugs Version February 2001? * If so, does anyone know when the graphics lib might be fixed? * Either way, is there a workaround that isn't too painful? I guess I could roll back to an earlier version of Hugs if it comes to that. I saw an earlier post about the same problem on the Linux platform, but the thread soon disappeared. Thanks for the help!
