Hi! I'd like to create Haskell bindings for swisseph C library for calculating ephemeris. Which preprocessor would be a suitable for ghc compiler with the ability to run the code both on Linux & Win32? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour@mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493
Hello, One answer might be to not use a preprocessor at all. I found that I could not understand what the preprocessers where actually doing until I understood how to do it by hand. The nice thing about doing it by hand, is it is probably the most portable, since it does not require any preprocessor. On the otherhand, there is nothing wrong with using a preprocessor, and it can certainly save time. hsc2hs is included in the ghc source tree, so that would probably be my first choice. Jeremy Shaw.

Hello, I would instead suggest greencard as a good preprocessor. It is portable in the sense that it outputs haskell code in accordance with the new FFI specification. Also, it has an input format which, in my opinion, is easier to learn and is better documented than hsc2hs. You can download the program and manual at: http://haskell.org/greencard/ Per Larsson On Thursday 15 January 2004 18.40, Jeremy Shaw wrote:
