Your wild guess was the problem exactly! I'd lost my build shell scripts with my hard drive and forgot about the windows-specific configure. Thanks a bunch. - Conal

I checked > out ghc, hslibs, & libraries, did autoreconf & ./configure and "make". wild guess: configure without parameters? configure thinks its on unix and requests a package that the mingw ghc you build with doesn't have. > Probably irrelevant, but last week my hard drive died, so I've started > over with a new cygwin, re-installed ghc 6.4, etc. easy to change something in the setup then. I always need several attempts ("etc" includes mingw/msys, I guess? and if you like to try opengl/glut, you may want to add glut to msys as well; possibly you want alex,happy,haddock). cheers, claus _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
