Hi Chris.. thanks for your extensive work on haskell regex libs. I'm looking for a good way to make my regex-using app more portable to windows. I couldn't figure out the difference between the regex-pcre and regex- pcre-builtin on hackage. Could you clarify ? Best regards, -Simon

pcre-builtin ships the PCRE C library internally. Regular regex-pcre relies on the DLL somewhere on your system. -- Don

Thanks, this sounds like what I need for windows installability. Maybe this should be mentioned in regex-pcre-builtin's hackage page and haddock docs. Is there any downside to using it ? I notice the hackage page does not mention ghc 6.8, while regex-pcre's does.

Once you find out please update the page on the wiki covering the different regular expression libs available for Haskell: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Regular_expressions AFAICS it lacks information on portability of the non-native libs. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

That's a good page, which I've updated a little. It would still be good to clarify the hackage and haddock docs, as they are the front line, and have them link to the above.
