Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: first Grapefruit release

Hello Jeff, it’s been some time that we had the conversation below and I have to tell you the same thing I told Jamie in a haskell-cafe mail sent a few minutes ago: The student who wrote the Qt binding generator never managed to send me a final version of his code. At least, I was able to make him send me the current state. I don’t think he will improve this code anymore. If you want to have a look at the code, please visit http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HQK and follow the link to the code and have a look at the building tips. In case you would like to improve the binding generator, I’d be happy to receive patches. :-) Sorry for these bad news. Best wishes, Wolfgang Am Mittwoch, 18. Februar 2009 15:42 schrieb Jeff Heard:

When he gives you the code, could you let me know? I would really love to bind Open Scene Graph, but it's entirely C++ and that makes for a lot more difficult coding to say the least.

If you have problems with Gtk2Hs on Windows, it might be better to write a Win32-based backend for Grapefruit instead of a wxWidgets-based one. What do you think about that?

Win32-based backend would make more sense as it is one less layer to deal with. But how? Same thing with Mac.

A student of mine wrote a fully automatic binding generator for C++ libraries which also supports Qt extensions (signals and slots). (However, this guy still has to give me the code. :-/ ) One could do a similar thing for generating Win32 and Cocoa bindings. Then one could write Grapefruit UI backends based on these bindings.
