Hi Manuel,
I compiled the stuff a while ago (with GHC 5.02.1):
http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell%40haskell.org/msg09806.html
and it works all fine with colours and such. You didn't say which version of the HGL you compiled. The one that's in the 5.02.2 source tarball?
No, the one I just grabed off the Hugs webpage. I didn't even know HGL was in the ghc/hslibs sources, I have to admit. Turns out the actual sources are equal, but careful perusal of the Makefile in hslibs revealed the vital clue: the -monly-3-reg option. Compiling HGL with that makes ghc not choke on GreenCard's ghc-targetted output (which it did before), and moreover makes it run in full colour. Excellent, thanks again for the help. --C.
