[Mikhail redirected to haskell-platform@] Hi Chris,
I am the listed darcs / hackage maintainer for regex-posix. It is true that I do not use it on Windows and so I do not have that setup properly. .. http://code.haskell.org/regex-posix/
Patches to enable compiling regex-posix-0.94.2 on Windows are welcome.
That darcs repo and package version are the ones I was referring to!-) But before I look into patches, I would like to understand how things are supposed to work. Also, others have patched already, just not sent the patches to you, so there seems to be something more going on. The problems are not actually Windows-specific, it just so happens that Windows is one OS on which one would like to use the in-package C-library. So if you could clarify how to build the package that way, it should also work on Windows, using mingw/msys.
