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

Hi, I just setup and installed hs-plugins from darcs on WinXP using ghc-6.6 and MSYS. The hs-plugin test suite all passes. Can you send me something that generates your error and I'll have a look at it. Vivian

Glad to know, Ian. Thanks.

I'd sure love to have a working hs-plugins again, especially in time to help with my ICFP submission. I wouldn't begin to know how to crack something like this bug. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers, - Conal

BTW, to get hs-plugins to build, I changed two lines in hs-plugins/configure.

As it happens, I sent Don a similar patch last night, so hopefully it'll be fixed in darcs soon.

First I tried tr -d '\n', but it didn't work, and I don't

know why.

Because it's a \r you're trying to delete.
