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

One way in which cabal can be made UAC aware (and therefore request for elevation privileges instead of just failing) would be to embed a manifest in the cabal.exe. This can be done by changing the default manifest (an XML file) that is embedded at link time by GHC. This is supported by GHC

One last note as it may be confusing in previous message...I mention to use windows API, but there is no API per-se that can elevate a process already running. It takes to create another process which, at startup time, will popup the elevation dialog. The win32 function to call is therefore just

- use windows API for requesting elevation during the process (ugly) If it really has to be done, then this seems like the best approach. In principle there's no problem with calling funky win32 functions in Cabal, it's mostly a matter of working out what bahaviour we want and what UAC

hurt the design (as in [1]). By comparison, the current logo performs very badly on all these criteria. Cheers, -Regis Saint-Paul ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[Haskell-cafe] real haskell difficulties (at least for me)

2009-01-13 Thread Regis Saint-Paul
Hi, I’ve seen many times the monad topic coming around on the cafe and plentiful tutorials on monads have been published. However, as a complete Haskell newbie coming from OOP, I felt monads were not particularly difficult to grasp, and very exciting to work with. During my experiments with
