Howdy, The listed maintainer for gd is no longer maintaining it. I'm wondering if anyone else is, if there is a version control URL, and how I can send patches. I need to get it working for Win32. Thanks

I'll be the new maintainer. I've used it a fair bit. I'll setup a github repository. I don't have a Windows install available, but I've used Windows for development in the past. Hold up. On 2 July 2010 20:00, Jason Felice wrote:

Hold up.

I was wondering the same thing about submitting patches to expose more of the image functionality, including getting some functions to return Either instead of failing with a runtime error. Let me know when you get it set up. Cheers, Matt

That sounds like a good idea. I've setup a repo, I've merged in the latest work I did on it, and I've just updated it to be latest Prelude/base and to comply with -Wall. I'm just going to make it consistent with tibbe's style guide[1] before we start patching it for feature updates, so that we're singing from the same hymn sheet and then I'll let you you here.

OK, here's the cleaned up repo. ready for action: http://github.com/chrisdone/gd Uploaded to Hackage with me as maintainer: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gd On 2 July 2010 21:34, Christopher Done wrote:

Is there an easy way to install this module on Windows? I just ran cabal install gd and got the rather intimidating response: Missing C libraries: gd, png, z, jpeg, fontconfig, freetype, expat I actually have some of these libraries installed (eg. expat) but not most. I'm using MinGW. Cheers, Kevin On Jul 3, 12:27 am, Christopher Done wrote:

Hi Kevin, You probably have to install the mingw versions of these libraries. Should be trivial to do with mingw's installation manager. Or was that cygwin? The one with the package manager. I haven't used Windows for a while, apologies. On 21 July 2010 09:51, Kevin Jardine wrote:

mingw only recently has a package manager - which may be unofficial at the moment. It doesn't look like it has GD: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/takeoffgw/index.php?title=Repository_S... I'd expect the libraries exist in Cygwin's package repository. However, binding Haskell to C libraries with Cygwin is difficult, I've only had success when binding to pre-built DLLs like SDL. Given the number of libraries involved, I'd look for an alternative to GD.

Yes, I've seen reports that people have tried and failed to install the Haskell GD module on Windows. So I'm looking at something simpler now like shelling out to an imagemagick executable. Kevin

Excellent news! I submitted some patches to the maintainer a while back but never heard any response, positive or negative. My changes were a subset of what you have on github now. It's great to see it being cared for again! Cheers, D -- Dougal Stanton dougal@dougalstanton.net // http://www.dougalstanton.net
