building GHC (head) on windows MINGW: HsRegexPosixConfig.h: No such file or directory

Hello, What do I need to install for the regex library support on MINGW? It looks like the regex library needs the posix library, and in my MINGW / MSYS installation I don't find one (and neither does configure). Rene.

I don't quite understand the question - I just checked the three packages regex-base, regex-posix and regex-compat, and none of them depends on posix. Could you give more information on the error you're encountering? Cheers, Simon

I have not run into this problem with the regex library but I ran into a similar one when building network. Did you get the regex library after you had already run autoreconf? If so, you need to run autoreconf and ./configure again in the ghc root directory. Regards, Brian
