I won't be at the hackathon I fear (and neither will Simon M) but I jotted down some notes about how to replace GMP with a Haskell library http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReplacingGMPNotes/HaskellLibrary Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On | Behalf Of Matthias Neubauer | Sent: 11 September 2007 22:04 | To: Simon Peyton-Jones | Cc: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org; benedikth; Peter Tanski | Subject: Re: FFI Bindings to Libraries using GMP | | Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> writes: | | > Peter Tanski did exactly that (he's the author of the | > ReplacingGMPNotes above), but he's been very quiet recently.
