Re: [Haskell-cafe] The Future of MissingH

Until this email I was under the impression that the project is dead. For example, if I go to google and type 'MissingH' the first link is fsf's directory page. When I try to get to MissingH website from there the link appears to be down. I can't really figure out what MissingH includes and where to get it from searching the web, not easily anyway. I think fixing this will go a long way to a more widespread adoption of the library. Thanks, - Slava Akhmechet On 11/24/06, John Goerzen wrote:

What else should be done to make this a valuable resource for Haskell programmers? And a showcase for what is possible with Haskell?

I was going to try MissingH on win32 but when I did it refused to compile due to a dependency on, I think, Posix. It would be great if this could be fixed/relaxed. At the time I was looking forward to trying the logging facilities.

That should be completely fixed for a long time now. But I will admit I haven't tried to build the latest version on GHC 6.6.

In fact, I wrote an entire module (MissingH.IO.StatCompat) so that Windows users can also enjoy HVFS.
