You might want to look at
http://darcs.haskell.org/vshaskell/comlib/
this is a derivative of the comlib that comes with H/Direct. It's the one we're using in Visual Haskell for calling COM. We're doing much of our COM interaction manually via comlib now, because we reached the limits of what H/Direct was able to cope with in various ways. Also you should find that the version of comlib above compiles out of the box with recent GHC versions.
Cheers, Simon
The question then arises what is a recent GHC version. I have ghc-6.4.2 installed and when I do a "runghc Setup.lhs configure" I get lots of unknown field errors. I guess the comlib depends on a newer version of cabal than 1.0? Thanks for the pointer. I'll try to get it running. Andreas
