I can use FranTk with GHC-6.0 on Windows XP just fine in some configurations. It's OK when compiling with GHC. It's also OK with GHCi when using FranTk with no concurrency.
However, when trying to load a concurrency enabled FranTk into GHCi, I get "the impossible happened". I tried the workaround for the other GHCi bug, but this apparently different, as shown below. Full disclosure requires me to highlight the following text from the FranTk makefile: # Ununcomment this line to support concurrency. # This support does NOT work with ghci. It does not currently export # the special run_head_queue variable. Will allegedly # be fixed in a future version of ghc. # this version supports concurrency SUPPORTCONCURRENCY = TclCompatibilityGhcSupportsConcurrency.hs Is it simply that this hasn't been fixed yet? (I'm not sure what symptoms are "expected".) I'd very much like to be able to use FranTk with concurrency. Any chance of a fix? cheers, Simon ------------ sjg-pc$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.0, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help.
