# Calling Haskell From Go Example

## Building
#### Updating the source paths
Make sure to update the libraries path in `main.go` on the line
```
// #cgo LDFLAGS: Safe.o -L <...> -lHSbase-4.14.3.0 -lHSinteger-gmp-1.0.3.0 -lHSghc-prim-0.6.1 -lHSrts -lCffi -liconv -lm -ldl
```
`-l` parameters should remain - they specify the required Haskell libraries
for linking. You may need to update the libraries versions.
#### Easy (Makefile)
Run:
```
make
```
and it should do the job.
#### Manual build
```
ghc -c -O Safe.hs
go build
```
## If something goes wrong
Most likely some libraries are missing or not specified in `main.go`.
To verify which libraries and paths are in use on your system, follow the steps below.
Paste this source to a file named `test.c`
```c
#include
#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__
#include "Safe_stub.h"
#endif
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
hs_init(&argc, &argv);
i = fibonacci_hs(42);
printf("Fibonacci: %d\n", i);
hs_exit();
return 0;
}
```
Run:
```sh
ghc -c -O Safe.hs
ghc --make -no-hs-main -v -optc-O test.c Safe -o test
```
This will generate the compile and link commands for your version of C compiler.
Check the output and use it as the guidance, and let the sun enlighten your treacherous path.
