Hi,
the 0.17 documentation (and examples) wasn't updated to cover the extra argument that startupHaskell() now takes, I'm afraid. Attached is a version of tst.c from examples/server/ which shows you how to now use startupHaskell() from C.
Thanks for sending this. I'm still getting the undefined errors, though:
[mark@elvis server]$ ghc -package hdirect -fglasgow-exts -static -no-hs-main -i../../lib -L../../lib -lhdirect -o tst tst.o libHStst.a /usr/local/ghc-5.00.2/lib/ghc-5.00.2/libHSstd.a(PrelMain__1.o): In function `__init_PrelMain': ....
It could be that ghc-5.00.2 doesn't include the -no-hs-main fix I committed sometime ago. If you add -v to the final link line and see an occurrence of PrelMain_mainIO_closure in the invocation of the linker, then that's the case & you're out of luck, I'm afraid. (==> you need to get hold of a CVS repo build and/or wait for 5.02).
I'll play around a bit with it to see if I can make them go away.
btw, if you experience GHC5 compatibility problems with HDirect-generated code, checking out a copy of the HDirect sources from the CVS repository is a good idea. And if that doesn't clear up the problems you're having either, then please let me know & I'll try to sort it out.
I'll try that, but I'm having problems getting the code to compile, without compiling everything. I've grabbed both fpconfig and hdirect, and there is no configure script to set up the fptools directory. At this point I can't really recompile the whole chain, as it takes about two days on my computer, and I don't have sufficient disk space. I'll see if I can get the configure script somewhere and try to compile hdirect directly.
It's high time that I bring out a new release, I think. You don't need to compile all of fptools though, the following steps should get you close: foo$ autoconf foo$ ./configure <and possibly some options> foo$ cd glafp-utils && make foo$ cd hdirect foo$ make boot foo$ cd src; make all foo$ cd lib; make all --sigbjorn
