Hi all,

Consider the following program:

module Test where

import System.Process (readProcess)

main :: IO ()
main = readProcess "git" ["describe", "--tags"] "" >>= putStr

In Windows I get the following behaviour:

> git --version
git version 1.7.10.msysgit.1

> ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.1

> runghc Test
Test: git: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)

The same happens with GHC 7.4.2. In Linux, however, it works as expected:

$ git --version
git version 1.7.9.5
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1
$ runghc Test.hs
Package-2.0-68-gacaf77a

Can anyone reproduce this result in Windows? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Pedro
