Interestingly, while you can't compile bindings to external C libraries,
Ah Mr Coppin, maybe you should change "you" to "I". I had (Haskell bindings) SDL-0.5.3 working August last year - so I think I would be using GHC 6.8.3 at that time, the version of the SDL C library was 1.2.13. SDL has no prepared package in the Cygwin package manager, so you have to download it yourself. I seem to remember it being more tricky to get SDL working under Cygwin as a C library (you need extra DirectX header files at least), than it was to compile the Haskell binding once the C library was working. Instructions for compiling the C library for Cygwin are on the SDL website. I haven't tried it since as I don't need SDL for anything I do, but don't I think it would be any harder (lemmih's binding seems to be pretty stable and at the time I used it, it was impressively tidy). Best wishes again Stephen
