Re: [wxhaskell-users] darcs patch: Added the -fPIC compiler flag to CXX opt... (and 1 more)

Hi,

I'm going to push a slightly modified version of this patch in.
The only modification is in the description.  Arie, you'll want
to obliterate your version of the patch so that it does not
conflict with the one I push in.

The patch seems to make sense (although I must point out I haven't done
any C coding since the late 90s and can't really claim to know what I'm
talking about).  I found this bit of explanation on the web helpful:

  Any valid pointer to an object (the original C99 text speaks of "any
  valid pointer to void") can be converted to this type, and then
  converted back safely to void *. The result must compare equal to the
  original pointer. In other words, intptr_t legalizes a popular yet
  non-portable tradition of converting data pointers to integral types,
  and vice versa.
