I've uploaded a new InstallShield for GHC 4.08.2 for Windows which includes *all* the programs required to use and even rebuild GHC from source [GHC developers should note that it doesn't include everything needed to build from CVS; see the most recent 5.00 docs in CVS for details]. This means that there's no longer any need to install Cygwin. Since GHC needs bash to work, and building it requires mv, rm and cp, plus many other basic utilities, you get a reasonably nice minimal command-line environment anyway; I've added ls to the mix for extra comfort. Although the InstallShield is now 20M, overall there's far less to download, and now GHC should break far less often. Another implication of this development is that the Windows version of 5.00 should now happen sooner rather than later. One caveat: the installation instructions on haskell.org are now somewhat out of date. I'll try to correct that soonish. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.
