Hi Henning,

Thanks for your quick answer (and your awesome libraries by the way)!

I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear:

I have not tried yet to install and use the binding on windows.

I was wondering if that was a reasonable thing to hope for, as most of my friends run windows and I wanted them to try my synth :-)

It's good to hear the package was built with that in mind! I'll probably setup a virtual machine in near future and give it a try... I'll surely let you if I run into issues.

BTW1: Oh nice, I just registered to that list!

BTW2: Synthezire is a wonderful project thanks for that! I actually read some of the code already, but as I'm really begining in the domain I prefered to start from scratch (to understand well how things fit together), I'll probably try to reuse part of your code later, that's a very impressive work you have done here!

Cheers

Alois

I've been recently used the great `jack` library from Henning Thielemann
(cc'ed) on my linux computer.

It work like a charm, but I was wondering about Windows support?

As I see Jack run on windows, I'm hoping I might be able to build my
haskell application that use `jack` on windows as well, is that
realistic? anyone have tried already?

I am using the pkgconfig feature from Cabal and hoped that this would make the package portable. It sounds like you tried to install the Haskell JACK bindings on Windows and it failed? Can you describe how it failed? If I can adapt the package to make it work on Windows, I'd be happy to do it.

Btw. 1: you can also discuss such issues at:

Btw. 2: I have already built a realtime synthesizer with JACK backend:
