Apologies for being lax to get around to this...

Could all volunteers please ensure that you can cabal install the
following:

    - darcs-2.3.1 (manually rename this afterwards to darcs-2.3.1)
    - darcs-benchmark
    - HEAD darcs

I got Haskell-Platform successfully installed and "cabal install darcs-benchmark" worked...

I also got darcs-2.3.1 to cabal install, but with -f-curl. Is it important to get curl support setup for benchmarking?

I guess I need to get icu figured out for darcs HEAD, though.

It may also help to make a test run

1. Make a benchmarking directory
2. darcs-benchmark --get
3. Run darcs-benchmark comparing darcs-2.3.1 and darcs HEAD

darcs-benchmark can't find the binaries because it seems to attempt to only look locally for the binary (ie, in C:\Users\Max\Stuff\Benchmarking where the benchmark repos are) rather than checking PATH. Upgraded to darcs-benchmarking HEAD and have the same problem. Here's the specific error:

darcs-2.3.1 get (full) [darcs]: 1!.. error: C:\Users\Max\Stuff\Benchmarking\darc s-2.3.1: runInteractiveProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)darcs-
2.3.1 get (lazy, x10) [darcs]: 1!.

Is this the way it is supposed to work? I don't have a huge problem with copying the executables, if I have to, but it does seem like a silly Windows bug.

In the not-so-silly Windows bug problems: darcs-benchmark doesn't always cleanly close file handles and processes on interruption (Ctrl+C).
