joelburget / assimp Goto Github PK

I was installing assimp and the dependency on c2hs is not listed. The build fails but installing c2hs with cabal works just fine.

I'm thinking I'd like to use assimp from haskell. I was considering writing some bindings, but then I noticed yours. It hasn't been touched for years, and currently doesn't build, but it's a much better starting point than from scratch.

Would you be up for reviewing pull requests I send your way to bring this up to a usable state? Alternatively, would you be willing to make me maintainer on hackage, perhaps after I've demonstrated satisfactory changes in a fork?

Also, was there a technical reason for you dropping this? Did it turn out to be unnecessary for your needs, and you found an alternative solution? Or was it just a case of lost interest/time?

I cloned this project into a new directory in my home dir. Running 'cabal install --extra-include-dirs /usr/include/assimp/' gives me:

Resolving dependencies...

cabal: can't find source for Graphics/Formats/Assimp in ., dist/build/autogen
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
assimp-0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Am I doing something wrong?
