These two interfaces do not overlap, as far as I can tell... 1. System.Console.Editline 2. System.Console.Editline.Readline For now, I'm only working on #2, since it'll be easier to integrate with ghci
Hmm, I see. I thought that there was some overlap.
Well, in that case, the goals of native readline emulation for Mac OS X Tiger and editline support for all platforms do not overlap as much as I thought. Too bad.
My point is that editline support for all platforms should be a much higher priority than removing the dependence on readline for one specific version of Mac OS X, in my opinion.
I think that in an effort to clarify matters, I made them more muddled. :-) By "they don't overlap" I meant that neither header (histedit.h vs. readline.h) imports the other and that they can be used independently. But *both* headers are present on *all* distributions of editline, not just Apple's. Implementing #2 is sufficient to getting editline working on all platforms. Sorry for the confusion, -Judah
