Re: [Haskell-cafe] very hard to build darcs with win32 ghc-6.8.2!

Here's a small test program which uses FFI to SleepEx which I was not able to get working with win32 ghc-6.8.2.

------ {-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts -fffi #-} module Main where import Foreign.C.Types

foreign import ccall "SleepEx" c_SleepEx :: CUInt -> CInt -> IO CInt

I seem to remember it should be "stdcall" on windows. That might also have a role in not finding SleepEx@8.

main = do putStrLn "start" n <- c_SleepEx (2*1000) 1 print n -------

So, what is going on with ghc-6.8.2? Why is the gcc so hard to use now? Why can't I get FFI working with standard win32 functions? Why aren't there prebuilt win32 darcs binaries anymore?
