Hi Duncan,

GHC only statically links Haskell code. It dynamically links to GMP and the system C library and other C libs.
In Windows (mingw) GMP is linked in statically (even this dll-stuff is bitrotted).
So you're fine.
On unix you can check for yourself with ldd. It lists all the shared libs that your program needs. For example:
FWIW, you can use dependencywalker to do this in Windows. Best regards, Esa PS For ghc.exe in 6.4.2 distro, walker gives: ACTIVEDS.DLL ADSLDPC.DLL ADVAPI32.DLL ADVPACK.DLL APPHELP.DLL ATL.DLL AUTHZ.DLL BROWSEUI.DLL CABINET.DLL CDFVIEW.DLL CERTCLI.DLL CFGMGR32.DLL CLUSAPI.DLL COMCTL32.DLL COMDLG32.DLL CREDUI.DLL CRYPT32.DLL CRYPTUI.DLL CSCDLL.DLL DBGHELP.DLL DEVMGR.DLL DHCPCSVC.DLL DNSAPI.DLL DUSER.DLL EFSADU.DLL ESENT.DLL GDI32.DLL GDIPLUS.DLL GHC.EXE HLINK.DLL HNETCFG.DLL IMAGEHLP.DLL IMGUTIL.DLL IMM32.DLL INETCOMM.DLL IPHLPAPI.DLL KERNEL32.DLL LINKINFO.DLL LZ32.DLL MFC42U.DLL MLANG.DLL MOBSYNC.DLL MPR.DLL MPRAPI.DLL MPRUI.DLL MSASN1.DLL MSGINA.DLL MSHTML.DLL MSI.DLL MSIMG32.DLL MSJAVA.DLL MSLS31.DLL MSOERT2.DLL MSRATING.DLL MSSIGN32.DLL MSVCP60.DLL MSVCRT.DLL MSWSOCK.DLL NETAPI32.DLL NETCFGX.DLL NETMAN.DLL NETPLWIZ.DLL NETRAP.DLL NETSHELL.DLL NETUI0.DLL NETUI1.DLL NETUI2.DLL NTDLL.DLL NTDSAPI.DLL NTLANMAN.DLL ODBC32.DLL OLE32.DLL OLEACC.DLL OLEAUT32.DLL OLEDLG.DLL OLEPRO32.DLL POWRPROF.DLL PRINTUI.DLL PSAPI.DLL QUERY.DLL RASAPI32.DLL RASDLG.DLL RASMAN.DLL REGAPI.DLL RPCRT4.DLL RTUTILS.DLL SAMLIB.DLL SCECLI.DLL SECUR32.DLL SETUPAPI.DLL SHDOCVW.DLL SHELL32.DLL SHLWAPI.DLL SHSVCS.DLL TAPI32.DLL URLMON.DLL USER32.DLL USERENV.DLL USP10.DLL UTILDLL.DLL UXTHEME.DLL VERSION.DLL W32TOPL.DLL WINHTTP.DLL WININET.DLL WINMM.DLL WINSCARD.DLL WINSPOOL.DRV WINSTA.DLL WINTRUST.DLL WLDAP32.DLL WMI.DLL WS2_32.DLL WS2HELP.DLL WSOCK32.DLL WTSAPI32.DLL WZCDLG.DLL WZCSAPI.DLL WZCSVC.DLL
