yes i did it,. the error is as follows: shop.exe: NetworkSocket.hsc:(948,3)-(1007,23): Non-exhaustive patterns in case I will download network form hackage and will do it form the beginning. . 2012/2/8 Holger Reinhardt :

Did you run "cabal clean" before rebuilding with Git Bash? And can you post the exact runtime error you get?

2012/2/8 Alberto G. Corona

...

I switched to Git bash and the runtime error produced by the library is the same. This error may be produced because  the configuration it does not detect the netwiorkin related includes such is socket.h. This does not exist neither in the ghc installation neither in GIT/Mingw

2012/2/7 Holger Reinhardt :

I just use the version of MSys that is included with Git [1]. This puts a "Git bash" icon on your desktop which you can then use to build the network library.

Nothing bur a long history of failures. The problem is the configuration and versioning of MinGW and MSys. This  is a nighmare.

2012/2/7 Holger Reinhardt :

Oh you are using Cygwin. I'm using MSys so this is why I cannot reproduce your problem. Is there anything preventing you from using MSys?

2012/2/7 Alberto G. Corona

...

The "problem" this time is in "Configure" :

case "$host" in *-mingw32)        EXTRA_SRCS="cbits/initWinSock.c, cbits/winSockErr.c, cbits/asyncAccept.c"        EXTRA_LIBS=ws2_32        CALLCONV=stdcall ;; *-solaris2*)        EXTRA_SRCS="cbits/ancilData.c"        EXTRA_LIBS="nsl, socket"        CALLCONV=ccall ;; *)        EXTRA_SRCS="cbits/ancilData.c"        EXTRA_LIBS=        CALLCONV=ccall ;; esac

Since I´m cross-compiling with cygwin, the variable Host does not contain ¨*-muingw32"  but "i686-pc-cygwin"

changing the case , the library incorporates the lost C coded files.

Now the library links fine win imported, but there is a runtime error:

NetworkSocket.hsc:(948,3)-(1007,23): Non-exhaustive patterns in case

maybe it is due to some other preprocessor directive mismatch
