Hi Sigjorn,

for Win32 users wanting the latest GHC goodness, a candidate 6.6 installer is now available,
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6/ghc-6-6.msi
If anyone's willing to download it and kick the tires a bit, that'd be great. If nothing too egregious shows up, I'm planning to publish sometime tomorrow.
Why this build doen't include some packages? It lacks some packages that were included 6.4.2. It doen't include GLUT and readline. I think you forgot copying header and library files to mingw directory. These filed are included in GHC 6.4.2's directory. And you can include OpenAL and ALUT package by these steps. 1. Download reealut Source ZIP, unpack it. 2. Copy AL header file directory that is under include direcoty. (Copy AL direcoty to mingw's include direcoty, doen't copy AL direcoty header file. Because packages' configure.ac search header files in AL/* or OpenAL/*.) 3. Generate libalut.a from alut.dll in lib direcoty, and copy libalut.a to mingw's lib directory. 4. Download OpenAL 1.1 SDK and install it. (OpenAL SDK installer says that you want to install runtime? You must click to answer "Yes".) 5. Copy header files directory to mingw's AL direcotry. It is made by 1.. Header files is in OpenAL SDK's directory. (Default is C:\\Program Files\\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\\include .) 6. Generate lib*.a files from OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll. Then copy mingw's lib direcoty. DLL files are in WINNT\\system files directory. 4-6' Altanative option to use OpenAL library is building OpenAL library by source. And then copy your lib*.a and header files. I usually generate lib*.a from a.dll by pexport and dlltool following this document way. http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html Now GHC 6.6 is released. So this is the good time to include OpenAL and ALUT packages in complete installer packages. (Other name is "sumo"/"omnibus"/ ... and so on.) http://www.mail-archive.com/glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org/msg10655.html If there is no option to use minimal and complete installer, people expect that package is complete one. And some people want to use complete package exactly. (And caball-install doesn't available now, too.) So I think these tack are very recommended. -- shelarcy <shelarcy capella.freemail.ne.jp> http://page.freett.com/shelarcy/
