Dear NHC98 maintainers, I was experimenting with nhc98 because I was led to believe that using it, I might be able to use the Haskell FFI to link with libraries built using Cygwin. Unfortunately, I never got far enough to try that; it's failing right out of the box. First I tried the binary distribution. The configure and install process seemed to go smoothly, but in my first attempt to use the compiler I get: /usr/local/bin/nhc98: line 131: C:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/nhc98/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmake-PRAGMA: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/nhc98: line 131: C:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/nhc98/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmake-PRAGMA: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/nhc98: line 131: C:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/nhc98/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmake-PRAGMA: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/nhc98: line 547: C:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/nhc98/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/nhc98comp: No such file or directory I then tried to build from source, but with no better luck. Configure seems to go smoothly, but the build breaks down quickly: bash-3.1$ make ghc -cpp -o lib/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmake-PRAGMA script/hmake-PRAGMA.hs cd src/runtime; make all nhc98heap.exe make[1]: Entering directory `/c/nhc98-1.18/src/runtime' Makefile:27: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/nhc98-1.18/src/runtime' make: *** [targets/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/runtime] Error 2 bash-3.1$ gmake bash: gmake: command not found bash-3.1$ which make /usr/bin/make bash-3.1$ make cd src/runtime; make all nhc98heap.exe make[1]: Entering directory `/c/nhc98-1.18/src/runtime' Makefile:27: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/nhc98-1.18/src/runtime' make: *** [targets/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/runtime] Error 2 Any idea what I might be doing wrong? -- Karl Crary
