contains a source snapshot that works with 5.04. Building it isn't hard...if it turns out to be, please let me know.
Spoke too soon. The build went fine, but when I tried installing the packages, I got the following error: bash-2.05$ cd lib bash-2.05$ make install-pkg Reading package info from stdin... done. Expanding embedded variables...done. `' doesn't exist or isn't a directory Unable to install 'hdirect' package for GHC - perhaps GHC isn't installed. Try running ghc-pkg utility "ghc-pkg -a < /HDirect.pkg" when GHC is installed. I have GHC installed (from the Windows installer). Running the ghc-pkg command manually didn't help. (Nor did using "HDirect.pkg" rather than "/HDirect.pkg" - isn't the initial slash wrong?) I'm not sure where to go next - I don't understand ghc-pkg, so if there's any information I can provide which might help, let me know. Thanks, Paul. PS In case it helps, here's HDirect.pkg: Package { name = "hdirect", import_dirs = [""], source_dirs = [], library_dirs = [""], hs_libraries = ["HShdirect"], extra_libraries = ["kernel32"], include_dirs = [""], c_includes = [], package_deps = ["base","lang"], extra_ghc_opts = [], extra_cc_opts = [], extra_ld_opts = []}
