Found the problem in Sigbjørn Finne's FAQ at http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~sof/ghc-win32-faq.html: I had no /bin, only a /usr/bin. I've gotten hello world to compile so I'm off and running. If 5.00 wasn't switching to a Haskell driver I'd suggest updating the GHC installation on windows page with this FAQ. -- Dave $ mount Device Directory Type Flags c:\Cygwin\bin /bin user textmode c:\Cygwin\etc /etc user textmode c:\Cygwin\lib /usr/lib user textmode c: / user textmode ----- Original Message ----- From: David Bakin To: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 12:47 AM Subject: win32 4.08.2 install question While waiting for 5.00 for win32 I thought I'd get started with 4.08.2 - downloaded it today and installed it and the latest cygwin as per instructions. However: When following the "test the fruits of your labour" I invoke "ghc -o main main.hs" and get back a bash prompt and that's all. No files created, e.g., no main. Same for "ghc -c main.hs". Something trivial must be wrong with my setup. I've copied the ghc/bin/perl to cygwin/bin. No spaces in any directories (ghc is installed at c:\ghc). My mounted dirs look like this: C:\Cygwin\bin>mount Device Directory Type Flags c:\Cygwin\bin /usr/bin user textmode c:\Cygwin\etc /etc user textmode c:\Cygwin\lib /usr/lib user textmode c: / user textmode Anybody have an idea what's going on? I can't wait to get 5.00 and its integral driver! -- Dave
