GHC 6.11 missing time package?
Hi folks, I'm getting ready to release a piece of software. Unfortunately due to a bug in GHC 6.10 on Windows it does not handle Ctrl+C properly. Since the bug has been fixed (thank you Simon Marlow), I figured I'd download a 6.11 build (I grabbed the 2009-01-29 version). Unfortunately, my project won't build with it because it's missing the time-1.1 package. This is sad because I had gone through the trouble to rewrite my use of oldtime to use time, thinking it was more future-proof. Is this an oversight in the nightly build, or is this package going out of GHC? Thanks, Lyle

Hackage seems to have it: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/time Does that work? -Antoine
I tried building it from hackage. I got an error: Setup.hs: sh: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory) ...which is very similar to the error I get if I try to build it using 6.10: Setup.hs: sh: runGenProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory) I don't know if there's something wrong with the package, or I don't have something set up right to build it on Windows.

It looks that you need MSYS or Cygwin to complete this build. Here you can find instructions regarding MSYS (and also GLUT, but you can ignore that part): http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-September/031535.html All best Christopher Skrzętnicki 2009/2/1 Lyle Kopnicky <lists@qseep.net>

OK, I was able to get it to build. I just had to install MinGW and put its bin directory in my path. Thanks for the help! (Actually, I ended up building time-1.1.2.3 for 6.10.1.20090110.) On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 2:38 AM, Krzysztof Skrzętnicki <gtener@gmail.com>wrote:
