Re: Porting hoodle to Onyx Boox M92

[Ian-Woo Kim]

Dear Václav VESELÝ

Thanks for your interest in the hoodle project.
I haven't tried to port hoodle program yet to ARM-based device, but of
course I am very interested in it since these days portable devices
are mostly ARM-based.
Currently, I heard that ARM binary can be generated by GHC, so in
principle it's possible. But As far as I know, Qt binding in haskell
does not work as desired with cabalized environment, and I doubt that
anyone succeeded in making Qt-Haskell work on ARM devices. In
addition, of course, I need to make hoodle binding to Qt (hoodle is
using gtk). Once Qt-haskell works well, porting to Qt itself is not
very difficult since I use cairo for main rendering, and GTK is only
used for front-end interface, which is easy to replace. Qt support is
one of my long-term goals.

Specifically about your question, I don't know about Onyx machine, but
probably it can have GTK. Then porting might be easier. Anyway, since
I don't have such devices, it is not clear for me.

I welcome anyone for porting and packaging (rpm,deb,exe or msi) the
hoodle program.
Sources are already in hackage.

Thanks. Please keep watching my project. ;-)
best,
IW

p.s. hoodle is working also in Windows 7. I've tested with Haskell
Platform 2012.4 and recent native win32 gtk all-in-one-bundle.
