Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: HS-Plugins 1.0 chokes on simple test, WinXP GHC-6.6

BTW, to get hs-plugins to build, I changed two lines in hs-plugins/configure. First, in the line TOP=`echo "Directory.getCurrentDirectory >>= putStrLn.init.tail.show " | ghc

--interactive -ignore-dot-ghci -v0`

I changed "putStrLn" to "putStr". Second, I changed the line GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir` to GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir | tr -d [:space:]`

First I tried tr -d '\n', but it didn't work, and I don't know why. - Conal On 3/16/07, Conal Elliott wrote:

I got hs-plugins to compile fine on winxp, but now when I run it I get a crash with this message:

c:/ghc/ghc-6.6/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_free'

Don mentioned this is a known problem. Is it on anyone's todo list?

Cheers, - Conal

I'm running cygwin on WinXP and got a different failure (below) from the latest darcs hs-plugins. Line 11 is right after the TOP definition. Does anyone have a theory about what's going on here? - Conal

You managed to build the darcs version under ghc 6.6?

For me runghc setup.hs configure fails with lots of strange error messages... (below) other packages build ok.

I used an MSYS shell on Windows. It doesn't build with ghc/cabal on a basic windows box - you need some sort of Unix clone. Looks like you're using cygwin, I think ('cause you still have paths starting with C:\).
