Hi
Check the cabal configure -v output. Check that you're picking up the versions and locations of ghc and haddock that you expect.
I'm not, I get:
Using haddock version 2.5.0 found on system at: C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin\haddock.exe
But running haddock gives:
$ haddock --version Haddock version 2.4.2, (c) Simon Marlow 2006 Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008
$ which haddock c:\ghc\ghc-6.10.2\bin\haddock.exe
How come it's picking up a different haddock? Is that an error with the findExecutable, or is it deliberately trying to pick a newer version?
It's not looking for a newer version. It's looking for the first version that is on the Windows %PATH% env var. It looks like your real Windows %PATH% is not set to the same thing as your MSYS $PATH. I thought that MSYS made these consistent but perhaps not. In ghci, see what System.Environment.getEnv "PATH" says. Is it the same as MSYS's echo $PATH? I wonder if running export PATH in MSYS makes any difference. Duncan
