Hi café, I just spent the whole day fighting ghc and cabal to get my program compiled in windows (and I haven't succeeded yet :) ) realgcc is not very happy about paths with spaces in them (I think there's an open bug about the way ghc calls realgcc, which manifests if you use extra-lib-dirs in the cabal file). I'd like to ask you: Might it be wise to change the setup file of the Haskell Platform to default to an installation path with no spaces in it, and to tell users why this is a good idea (possibly during the installation process)? Other projects are doing the same, including msys. Please be aware that I know that this "solution" is far from ideal. Ideally, it should just work (with spaces and without them). This is purely a practical decision, a workaround, aiming at making haskell more accessible to windows users, and making it easier for us to develop software that works in all platforms. Regards Ivan
