otherwise i was wondering if people had good examples to point me to for providing the cross-platform support needed for a FFI-based module such as this. i have made the necessary changes to compile the code on freebsd, but for other platforms i am not sure at all, particularly non-unix style platforms like windows.
What sort of changes do you mean?
the need to locate the curl library and headers in different places on different platforms. the defaults used (for linux i presume) do not work for freebsd for example.
my guess is i need autotools to do this, but i am not sure
Oh, you mean adding library/include paths to the Cabal file? Right, that will either need to use the new pkg-config support in Cabal 1.2 (if curl uses pkg-config), or autotools (substituting into a .buildinfo file is probably the easiest way). Thanks Ian
