Hi,
Do you understand very well a C library and would like Haskell to have a binding for it?
I've been working on this package:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/bindings
My goal is to have a place where one can find reliable and comprehensive low-level bindings to foreign libraries, so that writing higher level bindings becomes an easier task.
If you are willing to help me with questions about your favorite C library, like compile options I should be carefull about or differences I may find between systems, I'll be glad to write a low level binding to it.
I think "bindings" is an unfortunate choice of name for this package, as it doesn't tell us anything about what it contains. Looking at the code, I see: * Bindings o Bindings.Sqlite3 o Bindings.StandardC o Bindings.Utilities Which would traditionally be placed under, say, Database.Sqlite3 and perhaps: Foreign.C.Standard but they'd be in separate packages. Can you explain the rationale behind putting them in one large package, rather than separate packages? And is there a more explanatory name than "bindings"? -- Don
