FLTK bindings for other languages do exist, e.g. python for example; not sure how they were developed, maybe SWIG, maybe by hand. Might be worth checking out some of those other implementations and see if there's anything you can use. FLTK itself will not easily run in a "pure C" configuration, a lot of wrappers will be needed. However, I know that others here have done exactly that so you may find useful hints and tips are forthcoming! If there was a limited set of widgets and sp forth you wanted to access from Haskell, exporting C wrappers for only those bits might be quite straightforward... maybe...! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
