I could figure out the problems mentioned earlier. The type library problem is easy fixed by switching on the SUPPORT_TYPELIBS option in the src/Makefile during the build of hdirect. Note that you cannot switch on this option in a first time build. The link error has something to do with cygwin, when I remove cygwin from my PATH, this error disappears. But then unfortunately no dll file is built at all, without any error message! So I am still waiting for a solution...

I've encountered the problems similar to ones mentioned earlier in: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2001-October/000974.h tml <http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2001-October/000974. html> :

problems generating the type library: it is simply not created.

and http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2001-October/000979.h tml <http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2001-October/000979. html> :

a problem linking the DLL, I always get this error message:

/usr/lib/mingw/libmingw32.a(gccmain.o)(.text+0x88):gccmain.c: multiple definition of `__main' /usr/lib/libm.a(ds00023.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here

If anybody already knows the cure to these problems, help me, please! thanks in advance, Janna Khegai
