He also used the wxEiffel C wrapper (that wxHaskell > uses) I'm the french student having worked on it. The reason why I haven't made any official release is that it doesn't work at all; I couldn't solve memory issues. I'm working on a little "developper documentation" on my spare time, but I have got fewer and fewer spare time, so... And what i've done for the moment is in french... Whatever, what I can say you is that i've made a caml tool equivalent to "wxDirect", which parses C header, and generate a typed Caml binding to wxWidget. Even if the source of this tool is very awful (i couldn't find time to clean it), it works quiet well, as the binding works -at least on the few examples inspired from wxhaskell's one that i've tried-, and as the typing scheme seems fine. I also tried to find solution to make a nice integration of this binding to Ocaml, including garbage collection, which doesn't work at all. I think i will release something -a developper release- when the developper documentation is ready, but i can't say you when: as I said upper, i have very very few time to spend on it. Whatever, feel free to ask me for more information, i will try to help anybody asking... Good night...
