[Haskell-cafe] Re: Cabal install on Windows 7

Is there any %LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows XP? If not, what is the difference between %LOCALAPPDATA% and %APPDATA% in Windows Vista/7? XP does not define the %LOCALAPPDATA% environment variable, but it is equivalent to %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data. Data in local application data

Re: [Haskell-cafe] [ANN] I/O library for Windows

As I understand it, programs compiled with GHC currently use MSYS for all I/O operations, resulting in all kinds of strange behaviour in corner cases. (E.g., if you use System.Directory and ask whether C:\\ is a directory, it says no, yet you can read the contents of that directory.) I would

[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] I/O library for Windows

Hi all, winio is an I/O library for Windows using Windows API functions and has I/O completion port support. The main goal of this library is to support Simon Marlow's new Handle API once he has added that to GHC. The library also has a compatibility module for socket functions from the

[Haskell-cafe] Hoogle and Network.Socket

The Network.Socket module works fine on Windows. The original Winsock implementation was based on the Berkeley sockets api. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Re: [Haskell-cafe] HSGI: Haskell Server Gateway Interface

Hi Manlio, Have you looked at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WebApplicationInterface ? If you did is there something in that proposal that you think should be changed or is not clear? There is currently a lot of interest in writing web frameworks for Haskell and it would be great if the

[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Web Framework

Hi Michael, May i suggest Johan Tibell's web application interface (see http://github.com/tibbe/hyena/tree/master). It is similar to WSGI. Hyena can then be used as an application server and frameworks won't have to create their own servers. Many people have different opinions about web

[Haskell-cafe] Use of abbreviations in Haskell

Hi all, There is currently a discussion on reddit/programming about Haskell. One complaint is that Haskell functions often use abbreviated names. I tend to agree with that. In my personal experience it generally takes more time to learn a third party Haskell library than libraries written in

[Haskell-cafe] Re: Problems with Windows

Hi John, You don't have to compile hsc2hs yourself. It is part of the standard GHC installation. Cabal should be able to find it. You can check if it does by running runghc Setup.hs configure -v when configuring a package. Compiling network-2.2.0.0 against parsec-3.0.0 with msys/mingw worked fine

[Haskell-cafe] ANN: winerror-0.1

This is a small package for error handling when making foreign calls to the Windows API. The functions are similar to those in Foreign.C.Error, e.g. throwWinErrorIf corresponds to throwErrnoIf. Dynamic io errors are thrown with GHC so the catchWinError function can catch specific Windows error
