[Haskell-cafe] Announcing cross-platform implementation of Pan

2005-06-19 Thread Sean Seefried

Hi all,

I'd like to announce a new cross-platform implementation of Conal  
Elliott's image synthesis language - Pan.

For more information see:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~sseefried/pan/

This is very much an alpha release of the software.  I have only  
built and tested it on Mac OS X and Linux, although it has been  
tested on Windows by another.


Features:
* Uses Don Stewart's hs-plugins library to dynamically load and  
display effects.
* Cross-platform. Uses Daan Leijen's wxHaskell and Sven Panne's  
HOpenGL libraries.
* Uses the Haskell Cabal libraries. Builds with version released in  
GHC 6.4.


Drawbacks:
* Not as fully featured as the original.
* Not as fast. Implemented directly in Haskell instead of generating  
C code.


Sean

[Haskell-cafe] Buddha and GHC 6.4

2005-06-19 Thread Jim Apple
Has anyone gotten Buddha (now called plargleflarp 
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha/) do work with GHC 6.4? I'm getting


ghc-6.4: unknown package: buddha

Jim
P.S. What happened to the old name?

Hi Jim,

Unfortunately I haven't had time to get buddha working with GHC 6.4. If
you really need it I can have a look into it later this week (let me
know how urgent it is). Otherwise it is best to stick with the previous
stable release of GHC for the moment.

Plargleflarp is a decoy. I started getting complaints about the name
when the program was noticed by someone on a linux mailing list. The
complaints have come from buddhists who don't like the use of the word.
To stop the complaints I renamed every occurrence of buddha to
plargleflarp on the webpage. 

So what will happen in the long term? As yet I don't know. I might
rename the program when version 2.0 comes out, I might not. If you have
any opinion then please let me know.

Cheers,
Bernie.
