Hi,

"dynamic" is used to convert a FunPtr into a native Haskell function. According to [1], the first Ptr () should be something like FunPtr (Ptr () -> Ptr GUID -> IO Int32).

Then you have to cast the function pointer (methPtr in [2]) into a FunPtr with Foreign.Ptr.castPtrToFunPtr.

L.S.,

I am trying to compile a package that hasn't been updated since 2009 and I get a lot of messages like:
    Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: Ptr ()
    When checking declaration:
      foreign import stdcall safe "dynamic" prim_System_Win32_Com_Automation_TypeLib_setGuid
        :: Ptr () -> Ptr () -> Ptr GUID -> IO Int32

How can I correct this?

Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl
