Re: cabal-1.6.0.1 won't build with ghc-6.6.1 in WinXP

Thanks for the bug report. I filed the details here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/473

I've pushed a patch to Cabal HEAD. Would you mind checking that it fixes the issue for you and I'll push the fix to the 1.6 branch so that it'll get into the upcomming 1.6.0.2 release.

It seems to work. I can build under ghc-6.6 now (although I get loads of linker errors, which is another problem to sort out). Turns out that with ghc-6.6, the Maybe instance of Monoid is missing (it's in 6.8 onwards), so I had to change Setup to handle this. Thanks for the rapid turnaround. Alistair
