I am not sure what is going wrong. I have not been using Haskell on windows. I am also copying this reply to haskell-cafe and libaries mailing lists. Does anyone know? Parnell Flynn wrote:
I am having a terrible time compiling the 0.93.2 version of the regex-posix library on windows XP.
I have Cygwin and MinGW installed and I have a version of the regex.h header in C:/cygwin/usr/include what shared libraries do I need?
Here is a copy of the error it finds the include but is unable to link.
This links to the standard c library version of regular expressions.
The corresponding c header file is regex.h and there is a chance you
will need to edit the end of the regex-posix.cabal file to find the
include directory and/or library.
