Hi,
I want to shove Hoogle's databases in to the appropriate Path's place, as Cabal tells me.
However, I also want to develop Hoogle using WinHugs on Windows on a computer without a C compiler, and it seems that the generated Paths_Hoogle module requires FFI on Windows? Is there any way round this, or am I just out of luck in using Cabal's path feature in this situation?
Perhaps it could call things from the System.Win32 lib instead of doing the FFI directly. Could you investigate what external functions we need exactly and if they're exported from System.Win32. I'll gladly accept a patch to do this. Duncan
