It had been over two years since I last looked at them, but I returned to Haskell, GUI and GTK4 on Windows. This time, things were more straightforward. To set things up again, I added the following MSYS2 packages to the Stack-supplied MSYS2 with stack exec — pacman -S: and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the mingw64\lib\pkgconfig […]
static-bytes and endianess
The Haskell package static-bytes was spun out of the pantry package. Ilias Tsitsimpis reported that static-bytes-0.1.0 did not work as intended on big-endian machine architectures, specifically IBM’s s390x. A big-endian architecture stores the most significant byte of a multi-byte word at the lowest memory address. A little-endian architecture does the opposite. x86_64 is little-endian and […]
