Alexander, It looks like I had a similar problem with ghc script not being recognised by cygwin, and I assume that ghc-asm is also a perl script. I ended up invoking perl explicitly thus perl -S ghc ... I guess if you do the same with ghc-asm, it will work. Hope this helps Konst -----Original Message----- From: Alexander V.

My concern is the following. Before I stick to haskell I have to make sure that I can connect some necessary windows-specific C stuff to my programs - both mine and external. I can start developing with Hugs, but finally I would need a compiled speed. Do I understand correctly, that Hugs allows to make C extensions on windows? Can I then use the same interfaces once ghc for windows is ready? My last obstacle with recompiling ghc is ../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -O2 -DCOMPILING_RTS -static -c Exception.hc -o Exception.o 'c:/avv/soft/ghc-5.00.1/ghc/compiler/../driver/mangler/ghc-asm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. where c:/avv/soft/ghc-5.00.1 is evidently the root of the source tree, and this ghc-asm is present at the specified location. I tried to change the prefix to /cygwin/c/... in Config.hs, but this didn't help. Besides, I'd be much more interested in making extensions with VC N, where N >= 5 or 6. If the words 'doesn't require Cygwin ' below mean exactly this, I'd better wait. Thank you in advance Alexander Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

I'm afraid there isn't a Windows port of 5.00.1 yet. We have one working here, but we are trying to get the packaging right so that it doesn't require Cygwin etc.

If you want to build it from source, you might want to wait for Reuben

to put up the 4.08 download he's about to distribute. I have myself used this download to compile the head from source yesterday, so I know it works!
