...

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' ----

Which version of GHC is it that you're using?

6.0.1

Cheers, Simon
