Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: HS-Plugins 1.0 chokes on simple test, WinXP GHC-6.6

I'm running cygwin on WinXP and got a different failure (below) from the latest darcs hs-plugins. Line 11 is right after the TOP definition. Does anyone have a theory about what's going on here? - Conal

looks like the TOP and GHC_LIB_PATH values are the output of external commands, such as ghc --print-libdir, and someone forgot to remove the linefeeds from the output before inserting it in the script? claus

You managed to build the darcs version under ghc 6.6?

For me runghc setup.hs configure fails with lots of strange error messages... (below) other packages build ok.

Rene.

C:\repos\hs-plugins>darcs pull plink: unknown option "-O" Pulling from "http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/hs-plugins"... No remote changes to pull in!

C:\repos\hs-plugins>runghc Setup.lhs configure

I used an MSYS shell on Windows. It doesn't build with ghc/cabal on a basic windows box - you need some sort of Unix clone. Looks like you're using cygwin, I think ('cause you still have paths starting with C:\).
