The ffi hasn't been ported to all platforms and turning it off by default was an easy way to avoid bug reports. Ideally though, people would contribute patches to the ffi code. The main platform we lack a port for is the Alpha (though support for HP boxes and StrongArms would be nice). The original calls for porting and testing help are at: http://reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/projects/ffi/ The request for help http://haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-July/000813.html provides instructions on how to test and port the ffi code. -- Alastair Reid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reid Consulting (UK) Limited http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/alastair/ _______________________________________________ Hugs-Bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-bugs
