[Haskell-cafe] Embedding the GHC API
Has anyone tried to embed GHC as a library recently? What is the size of the resulting binary? I'm assuming a bare minimum of needed libraries. Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
