Progress on the Windows installer. Can Windows users (around 40% of Platform users) help out Mikhail by testing and reporting bugs? http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ -- Don ----- Forwarded message from Mikhail Glushenkov <the.dead.shall.rise@gmail.com> ----- Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:05:48 +0100 From: Mikhail Glushenkov <the.dead.shall.rise@gmail.com> To: Don Stewart <dons@galois.com> Cc: haskell-platform@community.haskell.org Subject: Windows installer 2010.1.0.0 RC1 Hi, I've uploaded the candidate 2010.1.0.0 installer to http://code.haskell.org/~refold/HaskellPlatform-2010.1.0.0-setup.exe It has two known serious issues: * cabal-install version is 0.8.0, which is known to be buggy on Windows (I couldn't compile the darcs version). * regex-posix doesn't work. The error is described in [1], and I haven't found out how to fix it yet. On the bright side, HP on Windows now comes bundled with WinGHCi.
