Hi, I'm having a few problems with cabals build-type "configure" on windows, especially with the packages "curl" and "pcre-light". Both fail either with: configure: error: curl libraries not found, so curl package cannot be built Configuring pcre-light-0.4... cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing C library: pcre Both libraries (pcre3.dll and libcurl.dll) are in my PATH variable, and I can build other non-haskell-applications which are using these via mingws gcc compiler. But still, somehow cabal seems unable to find them. Using the recommanded "--extra-include-dirs" and "--extra-lib-dirs" won't help either. Or is cabal looking for different files than those two .dlls? Can anyone help me on this? Did anyone manage to build curl/pcre-light on windows? My current configuration is MinGW/msys with gcc 4.5, ghc 6.12.3, cabal-install 0.8.2, cabal 1.8.0.6. libcurl.dll and pcre.dll are the latest builds from the official webpages. Thanks for any Help, Nils PS: Sorry for the previous (incomplete) mail.
