speaking as the principle mentor on the relevant GSOC project (Ian is also co monetoring, so he can correct me if i'm wrong anywhere) The QT binding project is a *subproject* of the *gsoc project* whose principal focus for the summer is making a swig + fficxx based C++ ffi wrapper for haskell. the GSOC core project is moving apace, and will likely be usable by the close of the summer. realistically, the QT bit is gold plating / a nontrivial demo use case. Currently its unclear if we'll have time to get the QT ball rolling, but a lot of the support tooling for that subproject should be done by the close of the summer! cheers -Carter On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 7:25 PM, kudah wrote:

Any progress on Qt bindings yet?

Dear Haskellers,

Hello.

I am very happy to announce the first version of fficxx (http://ianwookim.org/fficxx, also, please look at http://github.com/wavewave/fficxx )

fficxx is a haskell Foreign Function Interface (FFI) generator to C++. This tool automatically generates haskell FFI package for a given C++ class structure. It has been used for generating my haskell binding to the ROOT library [1] called HROOT [2]. Now I made it as a separate tool to benefit everyone trying to make a haskell-C++ binding.

I am going to explain how to use the library/tool one by one in my blog ( http://ianwookim.org/blog ). Currently, in the fficxx cabal package, I provide a very simple sample in the sample directory.

If interested, please try this and give me some comments on it in the discussion mailing list: http://ianwookim.org/fficxx/discuss.html

I hope that this is useful to many haskellers. Have fun with it!

Thanks, Ian-Woo Kim (wavewave)
