Fwd: Hugs on Mac with CW6 ? ... and Haskell Graphics Lib?
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. -- -- Doug Landauer landauer@scruznet.com (home) landauer@apple.com (work)
