Does anyone have hs-plugins working on WinXP with ghc-6.6? When I run the simple test below I get this error: Main: c:/ghc/ghc-6.6/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_free' Main: user error (Dynamic loader returned: user error (resolvedObjs failed.)) Am I doing something obviously dumb? Alistair module Test1 where test1 = putStrLn "test1" module Main where import Prelude hiding (catch) import Control.Exception import Data.List import System.Environment import System.Plugins instance Show (LoadStatus a) where show (LoadFailure errors) = "LoadFailure - " ++ (concat (intersperse "\n" errors)) show (LoadSuccess m p) = "LoadSuccess" main = do a <- getArgs let modName = case a of (n:_) -> n _ -> "Test1" let modPath = "./" ++ modName ++ ".o" let method = "test1" fc <- catch (load modPath [""] [] method) (\e -> return (LoadFailure ["Dynamic loader returned: " ++ show e])) case fc of LoadFailure errors -> do fail (concat (intersperse "\n" errors)) LoadSuccess modul proc -> do let p :: IO (); p = proc proc

Just got, built, and installed the repo version, and it has the same problem. Alistair

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:\). Alistair

looks like the TOP and GHC_LIB_PATH values are the output of external commands, such as ghc --print-libdir, and someone forgot to remove the linefeeds from the output before inserting it in the script? claus

Recent versions of cygwin bash do not by default handle DOS/Windows-style line endings well. See any recent bash release notice on cygwin-announce for details, but here are the juicy bits. According to Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash maintainer <quote> 4. This version of bash has a cygwin-specific shell option, named "igncr" to force bash to ignore \r, independently of cygwin's mount style. As of bash- 3.2.3-5, it controls regular scripts, command substitution, and sourced files. I hope to convince the upstream bash maintainer to accept this patch into the future bash 4.0 even on Linux, rather than keeping it a cygwin-specific patch, but only time will tell. There are several ways to activate this option: 4a. For a single affected script, add this line just after the she-bang: (set -o igncr) 2>/dev/null && set -o igncr; # comment is needed 4b. For a single script, invoke bash explicitly with the shopt, as in 'bash -o igncr ./myscript' rather than the simpler './myscript'. 4c. To affect all scripts, export the environment variable BASH_ENV, pointing to a file that sets the shell option as desired. Bash will source this file on startup for every script. 4d. Added in the bash-3.2-2 release: export the environment variable SHELLOPTS with igncr included in it. It is read-only from within bash, but you can set it before invoking bash; once in bash, it auto-tracks the current state of 'set -o igncr'. If exported, then all bash child processes inherit the same option settings; with the exception added in 3.2.9-11 that certain interactive options are not inherited in non-interactive use. 5. You can also experiment with the IFS variable for controlling how bash will treat \r during variable expansion. </quote> -- Iain Alexander ia@stryx.demon.co.uk

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:
