Hi,
One user of my package bindings-gsl reports a problem when building in a
mingw environment. Cabal returns with an 'ExitFailure' message, following
what at first I thought to be the error reason: a message saying that
"</c/Haskell/2011.2.0.1/mingw/include> is a relative path."
However, a second test with a minimal package, with just enough to build
and a pkgconfig-depends on gsl, shows that same "relative path" message,
but doesn't fail to build and install.
So, I'm not sure where to look for problems. Do you know of anything
that go wrong in mingw without error messages showing up?
Thanks for your help,
MaurĂcio
P.S.: I'm appending a build log, in case it helps.
