Looking for Haskellers on Windows
Hi all, I'm looking for Haskell programmer that use Windows as their OS-Plattform. I developing an application in Haskell on Windows and run into problems that seem to have a lower priority with the greater Haskell community as most of them are using Linux where the problems do not occur or are already solved. So it'd be nice to get in touch with other Haskellers that face the same problems. Günther
I do have to ship things to Windows and so I have a small amount of interaction with that platform. This is, unfortunately, something we see all over open source environments. Python and Ruby lists both see posts like this from time to time. While it is important that the interests of Windows developers be represented -- I was myself surprised to discover that the UUID package only worked on Linux -- it would be unconstructive to carry out such discussions offlist. -- Jason Dusek
Hi Jason,
I don't mean to take this off-list at all.
Quite the opposite, I just meant to draw the attention of other Haskellers
who also use Windows and might feel a bit alone because of it.
It certainly was my feeling, this is only for the windows specific Haskell
stuff.

Galois ships apps on Windows. We've developed windows installers and howtos for Haskell on Windows in the past, http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/bamse and this week, how to use a GMP DLL on Windows, http://haskell.forkio.com/gmpwindows There is a lack of a coherent 'Windows platform' as we have on the unix distros though, unfortunately. -- Don
