I've been building GHC 2.08 on Win32 (having managed to get a 0.29 build
first). The basic thing seems to work, but I can't get the profiling
version up. The first problem was three missing symbols timeBeginPeriod,
timeSetEvent and timeKillEvent. They're Windows functions which gynus
provide an interface for. The headers are missing, but I managed to
pinch the relevant bits from Visual C++, and (after some hacking around
with libraries) got a link. When I run a program compiled with -prof but
run without +RTS, it is OK, but when +RTS -p, it goes into
cygnus_except_handler and locks up.
Does anyone have any pertitent experience which could help resolve this?
I should perhaps be directing the question at cygnus, too.

subject lines that people use aren't always very illuminating.
