#8918: Network package doesn't load under GHC 7.8 RC on windows (?) --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: dmcclean | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries (other) | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by awson): This is a problem in either mingw-w64 (which goes bundled with GHC) or with network package (or both). Ancient wsiapi functions (absent in all reasonable modern windozes) turned to be popped up. One of the possible workarounds is thus: replace your <ghc installation root>\mingw\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\wspiapi.h file with an empty file and reconfigure and rebuild the network package. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8918#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
