It looks like MingW comes with a libreadline.a these days. Readline appears to build fine in GHC 6.2.2. I'll see if we can include it with the 6.2.2 release...
So I compiled up 6.2.2 on Windows with readline support (various patches to build system & configure script were required). It doesn't work though - typing control key combinations just results in odd characters. It doesn't work in an ordinary cmd.exe window either. Anyone have any ideas?
Aha - I forgot to fix something in InteractiveUI. It works now, albeit only in an ordinary command shell - if you try to use it from a cygwin terminal then it crashes when you press enter. I think we'll stick with plain non-readline for Windows for the time being. Cheers, Simon
