Does anyone know of a tutorial introduction to the FFI? How does one go about getting started with this thing? Any simple examples? I just want to be able to do simple things (mostly access a c library from haskell... ok maybe not trivial :) ) I would be happy if I could just call c programs with simple types and pointers (no way am I going to figure out struct alignment! ). I have had some success with Java Native methods, so I believe such things can be done :0
Cheers!
Try KDirect - it is relatively simple and the tutorial is present. On the other hand, it isn't very powerful - yet it may satisfy you. http://www.astercity.net/~khaliff/haskell/kdirect Wojciech Moczydlowski, Jr
