Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: dynamic loading of code on windows

Hello Kevin, Thanks. I understand that this is a toolchain issue, I just got used to the nice feeling of having 'cabal install foo' works seamlessly and flawlessly to get me some magic piece of software :-) I will try to be more patient and try to setup a proper toolchain for installing plugins package.

This isn't about the plugin functionality, it's about compiling code.

As the message says :

This requires a Unix compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin.

You'll find that you need such a toolchain to compile much open source software, including many Haskell modules, on Windows.

Personally I use MinGW+MSYS on my Windows machine. It works very well.

Hello, I recently tried to

cabal install plugins

on a windows box and it failed with the following error:

Resolving dependencies... Downloading plugins-1.5.1.4... Configuring plugins-1.5.1.4... cabal: The package has a './configure' script. This requires a Unix compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: plugins-1.5.1.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1

What solution can I use to load dynamically code in a cross-platform way ?
