I built darcs for win32 recently and it was much more difficult than it should be. Probably most of the blame goes to ghc-6.8.2 binary release for win32. Half of the effort is getting the zlib prereq working.

Previously to build zlib for win32 ghc I did the following: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-March/023059.html

The recent versions of the zlib package on hackage bundle a complete copy of the zlib C library for the benefit of windows users (it uses the system zlib on all other systems). So it should "Just Work"tm. Duncan
