Re: [Haskell-iPhone] Objective C bindings?

Hello! I think ObjectiveHaskell is a more practical choice today than HOC. ObjectiveHaskell could be cleaned up to use the new GHC 7.8 features, which will simplify the build process. https://github.com/jspahrsummers/ObjectiveHaskell/tree/reboot Try it out. __END__ Maxwell Swadling

Is anybody aware of any efforts to revive the HOC project that provides Objective-C bindings for Haskell? Or any alternatives to it? It seems like it would be a great complement to the iOS cross compiler. I've started reading through the code to see what it might take to get them working w/ recent GHCs. the last commit on the google code project was 2010.

When I do the "runhaskell Setup.hs build" from the installation instructions I get a few things like this:

"Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: CInt"

which seems to be explained by this as due to a change in FFI at some point: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/zlib-build-failure-on-recent-GHC-td4971...

I'm just starting to dig into this so maybe there's a good reason nobody else has. I'm pretty new to Haskell, but I love the idea of making native GUIs for OS X and eventually iOS. _______________________________________________ iPhone mailing list iPhone@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/iphone
