which is strange because the file mylib.lib is in the same directory as the haskell code.
Typically -l appends the necessary extension itself (.lib on Windows, .a or .so on Unix, .a or .dylib on OSX). You may also need - L. (again, no space) to make it check the current directory. It may be easier to see if ghc has an option to pass through the next argument straight to the linker, or even recognizes .lib files and passes them through unchanged (then you'd not need any option to include it, just the filename). Unfortunately my knowledge of ghc on Windows is rather sketchy. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
