libmpd : An MPD client library for Haskell -------------------------------------------- About MPD: MPD is a daemon for playing music that is controlled over network sockets. Its website is at http://www.musicpd.org/. Dependencies: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler >= 6.6 http://haskell.org/ghc Cabal >= 1.2 http://haskell.org/cabal network http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network mtl http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mtl filepath http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/filepath Building: $ runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=$HOME $ runhaskell Setup build $ runhaskell Setup install --user This assumes you have Cabal installed. Cabal is installed by default with newer GHCs. API compatibility: This library covers all the functionality provided by MPD version 0.13.0. Use: Import the Network.MPD module and specify the libmpd package (-package libmpd) when compiling, or add it to the `Build-Depends' list in your `_.cabal' file. Limitations: Some parts, most notably parsing, are not yet as good as they could be. The library is thus ill-suited for applications where speed is a major concern. Platforms: libmpd has been confirmed to work on: Linux/x86 Seems to work (as in compile) on Windows XP as well.
