Fwd: [Haskell-cafe] Re: ANNOUNCE: WinGhci, a GUI for GHCI on Windows
-- Forwarded message -- From: Pepe Gallardo pepe.hask...@gmail.com Date: 2009/3/25 Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: ANNOUNCE: WinGhci, a GUI for GHCI on Windows To: Benjamin L.Russell dekudekup...@yahoo.com Hi Benjamin*,* ** The only requirement to run WinGhci is to have GHC installed and to have GHC bin directory on your path. The way to start the application is by executing winghci.exe. Install.exe is an small program that associates .hs files with WinGhci (it should be run from the same directory where WinGhci is installed). Note that this association is optional. I have added a wiki page on this. 2009/3/23 Benjamin L.Russell dekudekup...@yahoo.com Just another couple of thoughts for possible additional improvement: 1. It would be even nicer if WinGhci added a menu entry to the Start menu automatically, as WinHugs does. 2. For the proposed menu entry, it would also probably be a good idea if WinGhci added a folder for that menu entry, and included a link to a README file in there, as WinHugs does also. 3. In order to distinguish WinGhci from GHCi, it might also be helpful if WinGhci had a different icon; the current WinGhci icon is identical to the one for GHCi (perhaps use the forthcoming official Haskell logo here?). WinGhci icon is different (although quite similar) from GHCi icon, at least for medium to large icon sizes. Just my two cents for now -- Benjamin L. Russell -- Benjamin L.

This is wonderful--just what I was waiting for! The application looks beautiful, and I'm very happy that GHCi now has a matching GUI application along the lines of WinHugs. It would be even better if you could provide some installation/uninstallation information. I unzipped the contents of WinGhci-1.0-bin.zip into the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\ folder, but there was no README file. Therefore, I simply ran Install.exe, and pressed Yes at the question to associate file extensions with winghci.exe. After some thought, I then decided that installing the application in the C:\Program Files\ folder would be better, but could not find any information on how to uninstall the application, so I just moved the folder and then re-ran Install.exe, again pressing Yes at the question to associate file extensions with winghci.exe. Is this the correct way to reinstall the application? Then, I ran StartGHCI.exe, but nothing seemed to happen, so I then ran winghci.exe, and the application started. Is this the correct way to start the application? I tried to check the winghci Wiki at http://code.google.com/p/winghci/w/list, but the project had no wiki pages. -- Benjamin L.
