RE: [Haskell] Announce: Yi 0.3

* homepage: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi
Took a quick look around and saw this: * GTK frontend works in Win32 So Yi works on Windows? hs-plugins was broken for Windows for a while, so I'm wondering if this has been fixed too. Does Yi use hs-plugins, or does it go straight down to ghc? (looking at the yi.cabal file seems to indicate no dependency on hs-plugins) Alistair ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Correct. Does that mean you volunteer and report any problems of running Yi on Windows? ;-)

Correct.

I'd love to, but JP has just indicated (privately) that it's broken on Windows, for other reasons. I was trying to establish whether it was worth my time to attempt to download Yi and GTK2HS and build them.

It probably isn't your time, but I think it's doable. If you grep for .Posix, you see:
Yi/Dired.hs:import System.Posix.Files Yi/Dired.hs:import System.Posix.Types Yi/Dired.hs:import System.Posix.User Yi/Dired.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix Yi/UI/Vty.hs:import System.Posix.Signals ( raiseSignal, sigTSTP ) Yi/Search.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix.String ( Regex, compExtended, > compIgnoreCase, compNewline, compile, execBlank ) Yi/Buffer/Implementation.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix Yi/Eval.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix Yi/MkTemp.hs:import qualified System.Posix.Internals ( c_getpid ) Yi/MkTemp.hs: System.Posix.Directory.createDirectory dir ownerModes Yi/MkTemp.hs:getProcessID = System.Posix.Internals.c_getpid >>= return . > fromIntegral Yi/Editor.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap ( Regex ) Yi/Buffer.hs:import Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap (Regex)
All the mentions Text.Regex.Posix is not a problem, as regex-posix doesn't depend on the 'unix' package so far as I know. If you wanted to, you could quietly remove Dired.hs, which would remove its dependencies on System.Posix.*, and the same goes for VTY.hs (not that you'd really want that on Windows anyway). MkTemp is built, but I don't believe it's actually used by anything (maybe Dired?). And that would be it, so far as I know. But all that would be a lot of work, and Yi isn't mind-blowingly good, if you follow me. -- gwern Recon tors EOD MSNBC K3 NB Spoke MITM Crust filofax
