Re: recent Windows installer for ghc head?

Thanks for the pointer. I get failures (below) when I try to "make install". Does anyone have a suggestion? - Conal

if you are talking about the good old-fashioned snapshots, there shouldn't be any configuration or install, just untar where you need it? claus

Following the "snapshot distribution" link on GHC's download page yields this

That seems to be a tar bundle for Windows; it's not an msi but if you unpack it you should be able to run it just fine.

I'd like to try out the new & improved combination of type classes and GADTs, which I understand is only in head. Is there a recent working windows installer for head?

Thanks, - Conal
