It would be reasonable to use the system C compiler rather than ghc, however we will have to do more work to find what extra include dirs get used and have Cabal pass those.
Currently we pass the -package flags to ghc which ghc uses to look up what include dirs those packages add, and then it calls the C compiler with those extra include dirs. Cabal would have to do that itself.
Well it sounds like I'll have to settle for a two-step build procedure for the time being. Luckily I managed to recall the existence of CMake just today, so it seems I can make my Haskell-hacking-on-Windows experience somewhat bearable... /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?
