Re: [Haskell-cafe] How does one get off haskell?
Maybe you should trying getting on Scala or Clojure projects ? Though they aren't many of them for now :( 2010/6/17 Günther Schmidt > Hi list, > > I'm facing a really tough problem.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Indonesia
Hi! I'm of Indonesian descent (by my mother) and I'll be there this summer. Nice to meet you!

[Haskell-cafe] Compiling a shared library on MacOS X
Hello, I'm using the following cabal file to build a shared library with ghc: Build-Type:Simple Executable libmylibrary.dll If os(windows) CPP-Options:-DWIN32 Extensions: ForeignFunctionInterface Build-Depends:... Main-Is: libmylibrary.hs Ghc-Options: -W --make -no-hs-main -optl-shared -optl-s -O2 The resulting library is called from a C++ graphical user interface (using Qt), which worked great so far on Windows and Linux. However, the compilation fails on MacOS X: Undefined symbols: "_ZCMain_main_closure", referenced from: _ZCMain_main_closure$non_lazy_ptr in libHSrts.a(Main.o) "___stginit_ZCMain", referenced from: ___stginit_ZCMain$non_lazy_ptr in libHSrts.a(Main.o) ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I don't know much about shared libraries, even less about them on MacOS X :( Any idea ?

[Haskell-cafe] Re: Compiling a shared library on MacOS X
According to the manual, I have to use the -shared flag to compile a library. But I get the following error: link: GHC not built to link this way: LinkDynLib Guess I have to recompile ghc ! 2010/1/3 Jean-Denis Koeck > Hello, > I'm using the following cabal file to build a shared library with ghc: > > Build-Type:Simple > Executable libmylibrary.dll > If os(windows) > CPP-Options:-DWIN32 > Extensions: ForeignFunctionInterface > Build-Depends:... > Main-Is: libmylibrary.hs > Ghc-Options: -W --make -no-hs-main -optl-shared -optl-s -O2 > > The resulting library is called from a C++ graphical user interface (using > Qt), > which worked great so far on Windows and Linux. > > However, the compilation fails on MacOS X: > > Undefined symbols: > "_ZCMain_main_closure", referenced from: > _ZCMain_main_closure$non_lazy_ptr in libHSrts.a(Main.o) > "___stginit_ZCMain", referenced from: > ___stginit_ZCMain$non_lazy_ptr in libHSrts.a(Main.o) > ld: symbol(s) not found > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > > I don't know much about shared libraries, even less about them on MacOS X > :( > Any idea ? > > Jean-Denis Koeck > ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: libraries [was GUI haters]
I'm building a desktop application using Haskell for the logic and Qt/C++ for the GUI (the haskell source is foreign-exported into a shared library). It's been hard to pull off, but it works quite well when you get past the compilation issues. Question to the Mac users on the list: do you find that Qt applications feel "native enough" on your platform ? If not, any tips ? 2010/4/3 Heinrich Apfelmus > Michael Vanier wrote: > > aditya siram wrote: > >> Yes Haskell is not strong on the GUI end of things but have you > >> considered turning your desktop app into a web app?
