I recently asked you who knows how to link haskell-made code to C apps, or call haskell code from C code, or encapsulate, traduce, Haskell code in C code. I just want to use haskell when I need advanced algorithms, & C for I/O, and GUI (under windows)..
If the library you want to use is already available under COM, I agree with Karl M Syring that Haskell->COM tools (i.e., H/Direct) are the way to go. If they are available as normal C libraries, I'd recommend using either the foreign function interface (ffi) http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/ or one of the tools that sits atop the foreign function interface. There is a very preliminary and slightly dated overview of all the tools here: http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/docs/ffi.html The best place to ask for information is on the ffi mailing list (ffi@haskell.org). In general, the more specific your question, the better the answer is likely to be. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ffi/ Hope this helps. -- Alastair Reid
