The darcs repository is at http://code.haskell.org/regex-posix. I suggest grabbing that version and using it for the Windows platform build. (don't forget to autoconf!)

No luck with that version either. First it complained about the absence of HsRegexPosixConfig.h, and then failed when compiling Wrap.hsc (see below). This can be cured by putting MinGW's regex.h and libregex.a into $GHC_DIR/mingw/{include, lib}, but then I get the aforementioned runtime error when trying to actually use Text.Regex.Posix functions.

You don't want to use libregex.a, because as I mentioned before it won't be loadable by GHCi.

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. Cheers, Simon
