Hi
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.
foreign import stdcall unsafe "windows.h GetModuleFileNameA" getModuleFileName :: Ptr () -> CString -> Int -> IO Int32 That's the only one. Wouldn't it make more sense to put this FFI call in Cabal (which is always there, and always required) instead of Win32, which isn't an existing dependancy? Thanks Neil
