I want to use HaXml, and since hmake is required first, I'm currently trying to build hmake with GHC. Unfortunately "make" fails; I get the above errors message.
What am I doing wrong here?
I use GHC4.08.2 (InstallShield version) under WinNT4/Cygwin1.1.8.
If you have GHC 4.08.2, then you already have HaXML :-) It's in -package text. You should also have the HaXML utilities: DrIFT, DtdToHaskell, XTract.

Hmake needs Posix, which isn't supported on Windows, sorry. Cheers, Simon
