Many people have written to ask about the absence of both GreenCard and
Xlib support from Haskell. (GreenCard is the tool we use to call C
libraries from Haskell; Xlib is one of the libraries we had interfaced
to using GreenCard.)
o GreenCard 1.0 has been removed from the Hugs distribution (and isn't
being distributed in any other way).
If you have old Greencard generated files, I think you should still be
able to load them into Hugs.
If you have Greencard source files you want to use, you (presumably)
have an old copy of Hugs too - use that to compile your GC source files.
o GreenCard 2.0 hasn't been released yet.
We're hoping to have it ready very soon. The new release will work on
Hugs, GHC and NHC and is much easier to use than GreenCard 1.0.
(It also has completely new syntax...)
o We don't have any plans to convert the Xlib interface from GreenCard 1.0
to GreenCard 2.0. There's a lot of higher priority things happening
at the moment and we just don't have any spare time. However, we would
be happy to help with the conversion (or a rewrite).
