Hello, I was wondering whether you know if anyone has gotten
Hugs to compile on Mac OS 9, using CodeWarrior 6. I am wanting
to get to know Haskell a little, and I have a copy of Paul
Hudak's book "The Haskell School of Expression", so I thought
it would be cool to run the book's examples on my Mac at home.
Unfortunately, I could not find any Mac port of the Haskell
Graphics Library. So I decided it would make sense to
try to compile Hugs on the Mac. Though I have known C
for decades (worked at Sun for 10 years, now Apple for just
over five), I'm a novice at using Codewarrior and at Mac
GUI programming in C.
It looks like Metrowerks may have changed some things
about the SIOUX interface and/or how stdarg.h works, in
between CW 5 and CW 6. (I deduce this from my feeble
attempts at compiling and debugging a plain Hugs with CW 6.)
Once I can get a plain Hugs working with CW 6, I'm hoping to
try to figure out how to get it to interface to C, so I could
supply something like the Haskell Graphics Library and link
it in with Hugs.
So anyway, I have some specific questions:
-- has anyone gotten Hugs to compile on Mac OS 9
under CW 6?
-- has anyone gotten Hugs+HGL to work on any Mac
(OS 9 or OS X)?
-- where should I look to figure out how the mac version
of Hugs wants to interface with a C-based library?
-- would it be easier to work with GHC or HBC instead of Hugs?
(High speed is not a big concern of mine at the moment,
I just want to learn and be able to play around with
Haskell.)
Thanks in advance for any guidance you might be able to provide.
