I am trying to build hat using ghc6.4.1 with windows/cygwin. I also tried nhc, but with the same error.

Warning: package(s) base not available (according to ghc-pkg)

Interesting warning.

Can't find module lang in user directories . ../compiler98 Or in installed libraries/packages at

The fact that no attempted location is reported for the standard installed libraries is worrying. It suggests that ghc-pkg is being invoked incorrectly by hmake. Another thing that looks wrong is that of course there is no module 'lang' - it is a library package instead. One suggestion is that the version of GHC is not being detected correctly. If the contents of the file targets/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/ghcsym are not "604" (without whitespace), then this would cause at least some of the symptoms you see. Correcting that, (and the corresponding variable definition for GHCSYM in lib/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/config ) might be enough to get you further.

P.S.: It would be great if you could add binaries to your download section

If a Windows user will create them, we will gladly host them for download. Regards, Malcolm
