ok, I guess this is not something you do every day; I am making a language binding for the library Allegro which has some weird things going on. I need to make a main() in C. so I followed the manual, I export my non-main haskell entrypoint and call it from the C main which basically is copy-paste from the docs. when I compile everything
ghc Halleg.hs Game.hs stub.c -L....(additional paths for allegro)... -lalleg(a few libs needed) -no-hs-main -o game
I get this cryptic error: ---- tcLookup: 'main' is not in scope In the first argument of 'GHC.TopHandler.runIO', namely 'main' When checking the type of 'main' ---- why? it seems GHC is ignoring my -no-hs-main and still messing with it. this is *bad* because what allegro does is to in a weird way rename main to something platform specific (this is to avoid having a console in windows, I think it's doing something under unix too) is there an easy fix to this? any help appreciated
