Hello all, first of all - my thanks to the developers of stack! We use it daily and it has really made a world of difference in Haskell usability. Well done & much appreciated!
LONG VERSION: I have a commandline Haskell program that now requires a GUI. This should ideally run on Windows as we are controlling equipment that does not have drivers for linux (an automated microscope). I once wrote a Haskell GUI program using wxHaskell, but found that I ended up with spaghetti code. Perhaps I was doing it all wrong, but I have little desire to repeat that. But at the same time I don't want to duplicate the functionality of the Haskell code. I was thinking of writing a GUI in C++/Qt, which I know well. Ideally, the C++ code would be limited to the GUI, and I would call into my Haskell code using the FFI. That would be rather painless if I could compile the Haskell code to a DLL callable as if it was a C library. Then it seems as if I could just call hs_init on application startup and hs_exit on shutdown, and everything is set. I have tried to Google this, but I seem to have found only scattered reports. It's not even clear to me if it is possible at all. But in any case I would very much like to stick with stack! SHORT VERSION: Is there a way to easily generate a Haskell DLL from Windows using a stack project? I am really hoping that stack can do the hard work for me, all the way to generating the header file and the dll itself. Would it make a difference if were running this on Linux? If not, is this on the developer's radar somehow? Perhaps there is another way to solve this? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!
