Is it possible to get Cabal to use 'cl' (Microsoft's C/C++ compiler shipped with Visual Studio Express)?
The problem is to get GHC to use 'cl'. That's a longer term project that GHC HQ are interested in. There's something about it on the GHC dev wiki I think. Don't hold your breath.
I've found the Wiki page on using Visual Studio to create a DLL, then convert it to a .a file so that GHC can consume it. I'd rather skip using Visual Studio to build things and just ship a Cabalised package.
You can create .dlls without using VS of course, if that's what you're trying to do. Duncan
