Thanks a lot everybody! By changing the import from ccall to stdcall, I was able to successfully compile darcs! The HTML manual is also compiled, although there must be some small problem (maybe in the makefile?) as make rebuilds the manual every time I run it. That doesn't matter at all to me, but if you'd like I can try to figure out what the problem might be. Anyway, I'm off to test darcs 2! Thanks again for your help :) cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
