Re: Compiling regex-posix on Windows

I was too busy this weekend and I did not notice this thread until now. I don't run Windows so I never maintained that build support for the new regex-posix version. If someone has it working then I would love to take a darcs patch. In order to unblock the Platform release I will try and setup ghc development on a Virtualbox'd Windows 7, on top of "OS X". -- Chris On 26/03/2010 12:47, Simon Marlow wrote:

Preprocessing library regex-posix-0.94.0... Text\Regex\Posix\Wrap.hsc:105:19: regex.h: No such file or directory

Looks like the configure script didn't run, or something of that kind. Perhaps you need to put

build-type: Configure

in regex-posix.cabal.

The configure script did run, and changing build-type from Custom to Configure doesn't help. Looking at zlib's .cabal file, it seems like the key to fixing this is modifying the c-sources field.

There is supposed to be a regex-posix.buildinfo.in file that is modified by the configure script, and contains the necessary c-sources field. That file was present in regex-posix-0.72.0.3, but is apparently missing in the most recent darcs sources.

Cheers, Simon
