Re: [Haskell-cafe] [OT] Install ghc6-doc fails [SOLVED}
It seems the problem was that those haddock files where generated by a previous version of haddock, ocmpiled with a previous version of ghc6. Now that I had a current ghc6, and a current haddock compiled with the current ghc6, I recompiled ghc6 and that worked :) On Sunday 22 July 2007 01:44:16 J.

If you have practical (as opposed to pedagogical) reasons for this, you should try using 'sort' from GNU coreutils (standard sort on linuxen, shouldn't be terribly hard to make work on other systems if you know C). The inner loop is coded with pretty bad constant factors, but it *is* an external sort, and has happily sorted 20GB files on my (300MB core) system; only taking an hour.

[Haskell-cafe] [OT] Install ghc6-doc fails
Hello, This may be a bit off topic, but maybe someone here has importante related information. I am running Kubuntu, the lattests stable version, but I am running unstable Haskell packages, that is, I fetch the dsc, diff and tarballs and build the debs myself of what will come in the next version of Kubuntu. So I have the advantage of running recent versions, and at the same time, keeping packages (which come usefull when I want to remove everything, or when mainstream software is too weird). But, installing the ghc6-doc packages gives me this error: (Reading database ... 156024 files and directories currently installed.)

[Haskell-cafe] how can I call GHC.init and GHC.initPackages?
Hi all, The following lines of code: import GHC main :: [PackageIdentifier] -> IO () main pkgs = GHC.defaultErrorHandler defaultDynFlags $ do GHC.init (Just GHC_LIBDIR) interactive pkgs seemingly worked in GHC 6.6 but they do not work in 6.6.1 anymore with error message: [1 of 1] Compiling Hide.Hide( src/Hide/Hide.hs, dist/build/Hide/Hide.o ) src/Hide/Hide.hs:34:9: Not in scope: `GHC.init' src/Hide/Hide.hs:44:18: Not in scope: `GHC.initPackages' setup build failed for packages/baseApp Thanks for any help on the subject.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] i need wxHaskell compiled for ghc 6.6.1 on Windows
Hi Bulat, can anyone provide wxHaskell already compiled/compilable with ghc 6.6.1 on Windows? This is precisely the reason I switched to Gtk2Hs - Duncan provides Windows installers as each new GHC release comes out. If wxHaskell wants to stand any chance as an alternative GUI framework there really _must_ be Windows binaries released concurrently with GHC versions...

Re: [Haskell-cafe] gui libs? no thanks, i'm just browsing.. ;-)
I'm not sure if you're talking about C++ ABIs or C ABIs? If you're already using a C ABI, and you're getting incompatibilities, well I have nothing useful to say :-) If you're talking about C++ ABIs, technically it's possible to use a Generator to drop-down into a C ABI, pump across the interface at a C level, function by function, then wrap back into C++ classes. The advantage is that you decouple the classes on either side of the interface, so it's possible to add new methods to the classes without breaking anything. (Warning: I have no idea to what extent what I just wrote relates to ghc etc. I did make a generator to cross a C++ ABI boundary before, to link an msvc C++ dll with a mingw C++ exe: http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7991 ) ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] gui libs? no thanks, i'm just browsing.. ;-)
That is all true. ABI compatibility would be nice. But I don't see how to combine with GHC's other goals. Notably, we frequently add new information to interface files, and it would be a major constraint not to be able to do so. that is the bit i never quite understood: if newer formats just add information, that should be no problem. the problem, presumably, comes when newer ghcs can no longer manage without that extra information. so, if ghc was truly upgraded (add things, improve things) instead of modified (add some, take away some), then it should be able to work with "old" compiled libs at least as well as its previous version would have. just that it could do even better if it was allowed to recompile the old lib itself.. what am i missing? claus ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

For the present at any rate, ABI incompatibility between major releases seems like the lesser evil.
