Hello GHC team,
I just succesfully installed GHC 5.02 on Windows 2000, and it (basically)
worked.
However, I have run in to a couple of issues:
1 (minor). The last dialog box of the Installer recommended adding "\bin" to my
PATH. This should have been "C:\Program Files\Glasgow Haskell
Compiler\ghc-5.02\bin". (I had to use "Search..." to find it!)
2. (more significant): The first thing I tried to do with ghc was build
GreenCard for Win32/ghc. This failed because it was unable to compile StdDis.hs
in GreenCard's ghc library directory. This turned out to be because ghc was
unable to find several non-standard modules like "Int", "Word", etc. which
appear to live in "C:\Program Files\Glasgow Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\bin".
Just to make this a little more concrete, I tried (and failed) to compile the
following trivial program that imports the Int module:
$ cat ModTest.hs
-- A test of importing some non-std. GHC libraries:
module ModTest(main) where
import Int
main = putStrLn "hello, world!"
$ ghc -o modTest ModTest.hs # no extra path specifier arguments
ModTest.hs:4:
failed to load interface for `Int':
Could not find interface file for `Int'
$ ghc -i "$GHCDIR\\imports\\lang" -o modTest ModTest.hs # trying -i
c:\Program Files\Glasgow Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\bin\ghc.exe: file `C:\Program
Files\Glasgow Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\imports\lang' does not exist
$ ls -l "$GHCDIR\\imports\\lang\\Int.hi" # just to prove that the given path
does actually exist!
-rw-r--r-- 1 antony None 10755 Sep 20 20:42 C:\Program Files\Glasgow
Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\imports\lang\Int.hi
$
I tried using '-L' instead of '-i', tried using '-fglasgow-exts', and tried this
under the ordinary console prompt (to rule out the possibility of a Cygwin
conflict). Nothing seemed to work.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a ghc bug?
Thanks,
-antony
