Simon,

While we're at it, I found a typo in the http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/win32-dlls.html documentation page. In ghc-6.6 the flag to build DLLs was --mk-dll (two leading minus signs), the new one is -shared (one leading minus sign) but in the doc it's written "--shared"
  ghc ––shared -o foo.dll bar.o baz.o wibble.a -lfooble

should be

  ghc –shared -o foo.dll bar.o baz.o wibble.a -lfooble
There are 6 occurences of what smells like a copy/paste bug ;-)

Cheers,

Olivier.

Yes, I moved some of the wiki documentation into the user's guide before
6.8.1, but didn't delete the wiki at the time because 6.8.1 wasn't released
yet.  Now we have duplication, and I guess I (or someone at least) should
sort it out...
