Hello all, I'm having a problem compiling a HDBC-ODBC on Windows. I'm not sure if the problem is with hdbc-odbc or with the Windows GHC package or if I've done something stupid or what. Windows is not my native habitat, so forgive me if I've left out something obvious. I'm using a Cygwin shell, but I don't think that matters. As far as I can tell, the GHC package contains all the mingw stuff it needs. I'm using the GHC 6.4.2 package from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ download_ghc_642.html on a pretty standard Windows XP setup. The compile is failing during preprocessing: it looks like hsc2hs isn't finding something. It generates a bunch of syntax errors for basic types like ULONG, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Here is the output from the attempted compile session: $ runhaskell.exe Setup.lhs configure -v Setup.lhs: Warning: No license-file field.
