[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform

I maintain the regex-posix package, so I feel the need for a quick post. I am glad the recent patch I accepted means the hackage version is working on Windows. If there is any additional things that need to be done with regex-* please let me know. Cheers, Chris. On 18/08/2010 06:38, Kevin Jardine wrote:

Mikhail and Don,

All I needed to do was to type:

cabal install regex-posix

and everything now works as expected.

As Mikhail also mentioned this problem is already in the Haskell Platform bug tracker.

I'm running Haskel Platform 2010.2.0.0 and attempting to compile with regex-compat under Windows XP.

The link stage fails with a number of lines of the form:

...

D:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\regex- posix-0.94.2\ghc-6.12.3/libHSregex-posix-0.94.2.a(Wrap.o):fake:(.text +0x493): undefined reference to `regerror'

...

I have googled for a solution but cannot see a fix anywhere.

Looks like possibly missing regex.h header files (from the regex C library) On Windows?
