Hi there,
 
I fail to build text-icu-0.1 on Windows, and would appreciate some help...
Thanks in advance!
 

Let me describe what I've done so for, and what results I got:
 
First, I got a version of ICU on my machine, specifically unzipping the
file "icu4c-4_0_1-Win32-msvc8.zip" from http://icu-project.org/download/4.0.html.
This made me having ICU stuff at location "C:\HaskellStuff\icu\icu", as
witnessed below:
 
>> C:\HaskellStuff\icu\icu>dir
<< 30/04/2009  16:08    <REP>          .
<< 30/04/2009  16:08    <REP>          ..
<< 30/04/2009  16:51    <REP>          bin
<< 30/04/2009  16:08    <REP>          include
<< 30/04/2009  16:36    <REP>          lib
<< 14/01/2009  22:48             2 032 license.html
 

After downloading and untaring "text-icu-0.1", I tried to configure, typing in:
 
>> C:\HaskellStuff\pkg\text-icu-0.1>runhaskell Setup configure
<< Configuring text-icu-0.1...
<< Setup: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
<< * Missing C libraries: icui18n, icuuc, icudata
<< This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
<< provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
<< are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
<< flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
 
OK, let's restart with appropriate values for said flags!
 
>> C:\HaskellStuff\pkg\text-icu-0.1>runhaskell Setup configure
>>    --extra-include-dirs=C:\HaskellStuff\icu\icu\include
>>    --extra-lib-dirs=C:\HaskellStuff\icu\icu\lib
<< Configuring text-icu-0.1...
 
And then proceed with the building per se:
 
>> C:\HaskellStuff\pkg\text-icu-0.1>runhaskell Setup build
<< Preprocessing library text-icu-0.1...
<< In file included from C:/HaskellStuff/icu/icu/include/unicode/umachine.h:47,

<<                 -o dist\build\Data\Text\ICU\Error_hsc_make.o
<<
<< C:\HaskellStuff\pkg\text-icu-0.1>
 

The "mingw/stdint.h" file contains a series of lines of this style:
<<
<< typedef signed char int8_t;
 

Whereas, the "unicode/pwin32.h" file contains contains stuff like:
<<
<< /* Define whether inttypes.h is available */
<< #ifndef U_HAVE_INTTYPES_H
<< #define U_HAVE_INTTYPES_H 0
<< #endif
<< ...
<<
<< /* Determines whether specific types are available */
<< #ifndef U_HAVE_INT8_T
<< #define U_HAVE_INT8_T U_HAVE_INTTYPES_H
<< #endif
<< ...
<<
<< /* If your platform does not have the <inttypes.h> header, you may
<<    need to edit the typedefs below. */
<< #if U_HAVE_INTTYPES_H
<< #include <inttypes.h>
<< #else /* U_HAVE_INTTYPES_H */
<<
<< #if ! U_HAVE_INT8_T
<< typedef signed char int8_t;
<< #endif
<< ...
<< #endif
 

So, do I need to explicitely change the icu include file?
And in which way?
 
Any other solution/suggestion?
 
Best regards.
