Re: [Haskell-cafe] Minimal Haskell Platform

When looking at `network` specifically, I think it does not even have external dependencies, it just needs a C compiler and GNU autotools. So if we care about Windows support, couldn't we just bundle MingGW with a minimalistic GHC + cabal-install distribution.

Interesting. As far as I know, the ghc distribution for Windows already bundles some tools. So maybe network was a bad example? Or maybe it was hard to install even with the tools bundled. I don't remember, because for the last couple of years, I have been happily using the Haskell Platform, so I stopped trying to install network from source. Tillmann
