This one corrects a problem with the fix made in the last one that stopped anything to do with stat() working (e.g. hFileSize, reading directories &c. &c.). Sorry about that. The fix is still fragile and temporary; I'm waiting for the underlying mingwin problems to be fixed, hopefully in time for the GHC 5.0 release. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | humour, n. unexpected recognition

I didn't know the windows port of GHC used mingwin, that is great news. Does that mean it is possible to generate stand alone applications for Windows ? Would it be hard to configure GHC to work with the mingwin crosscompiler on Linux ? It would be great to have a crosscompiling GHC. Jan

Yes; it always has been!

Not a clue. I'd be delighted to hear about this. I suspect the build system would need ironing out somewhat, but in theory ./configure --target=i386-unknown-mingw32 ought to do something sensible. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | plagiarism, n. the mind burgles
