Hi, all. I've run into difficulty installing GHC-2.02 for Win95, and I
thought I'd write up my experiences. Apologies if this is not the correct
forum for this. I'd appreciate any help in getting GHC-2.02 up and
running, though, especially if someone has managed it on Win95.
The first few items are minor. The last is a trapped exception from the
compiler.
The "prof" bundle has different versions of two files from the "conc" and
"ghc" bundles:
lib/i386-unknown-cygwin32/ghc-2.02/hslibs/contrib/imports/
Adams_Predictor_Corrector_Approx
Newton_Interpolatory_Divided_Diff
[fix: ignore and hope for the best]
There is no "share/ghc-2.02" directory in the archive, causing the "make
install" to die in "install-dirs" that point.
[fix: add "share/ghc-2.02" manually]
The "hp2ps" specification for the PACKAGE_BINS in the makefile fails
because it is hp2ps.exe, causing the "make install" to die in "install-bins".
[fix: change "hp2ps" to "hp2ps.exe" in the makefile]
The "#!/bin/sh -- -*- perl-*-" line for the scripts confuses the cygwin32
sh, and the clever interaction between this and the "eval 'exec perl -S
...'" is not handled correctly.
[fix: change "#!/bin/sh -- -*- perl-*-" to "#!/usr/local/bin/perl"]
Exception occurs when trying to compile the "hello, world" program:
$ cat - > hello.hs
main = putStr "Hello, world.\n"
$ ghc -v -o hello hello.hs

I don't know the fix for this, and would appreciate any help. Thanks!
