I believe the right way to build the package standalone is to use this Setup.hs script: import Distribution.Simple main = defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks which should run the configure script as part of 'setup configure'. You also need to run autoconf to generate configure from configure.ac first. Cheers, Simon Sigbjorn Finne wrote:

...

I'm trying to build Ashley's time package with GHC6.4 on Windows XP, and there are a few things it uses which seem to be in GHC6.6 only. Some of them I can find in the GHC sources, but I am unable to locate HsTimeConfig.h. When GHC is installed I'd expect to find it under C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.1\include, but I can't tell where this maps to in the ghc source tree.

Thanks, Alistair

Ahh.. OK then. I don't seem to have autoconf on my mingw system, so its off to mingw.org I go...

Right then, now that I've run autoconf, "runhaskell Setup.hs configure" fails because I don't have HsTimeConfig.h.in. How do I get one of those? Alistair

Ah. 'autoreconf' rather than 'autoconf', my apologies.

Success! I think... Thanks for your help. After a fair bit of dependency chasing, here's what I've done: darcs get --partial http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/fps normal cabal configure, build, install darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Win32 Edit Win32.cabal, add fps to build-depends. normal cabal configure, build, install darcs get http://semantic.org/TimeLib/TimeLib There are two packages here: time and fixed. Ignore time. Go into fixed and do cabal configure, build, install darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/time Edit time.cabal, add fixed and Win32 to build-depends. create Setup.hs: import Distribution.Simple main = defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks

From MSYS shell, not Windows cmd.exe: autoreconf runhaskell Setup.hs configure runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install

That would be true, I haven't run the autoconf script. Normally this is simply ./configure, right? I don't have one of those, I guess because now this package is part of the base libraries (I got it from http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/time). How would I run autoconf in this case? Alistair
