Hi,
I've been perusing the documentation looking for what I've done wrong...
1. I got the latest versions of both Cygwin and GHC.
2. I installed Cygwin on a clean partition, F:
3. I installed GHC in /usr/share/ghc/ (on F:, of course)
4. I copied the Perl binary over to /bin, and pointed the bang in the ghc
script to the location of the binary (I found this a necessary step).
5. I got a little test program from the web:
{--------------------------------------}
module Main where
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"
{--------------------------------------}
6. Tried to compile said program:
$ ghc main.hs
Output file not specified, defaulting to "main.exe"
gcc: F:/usr/share/ghc/lib/Main.dll_o: No such file or directory
gcc: F:/usr/share/ghc/lib/PrelMain.dll_o: No such file or directory
7. Confirmed that these files exist nowhere on the partition. Messed
around some more to no avail, came across static flag and tried that:
$ rm Main.hi main.o
$ ghc -static main.hs
Output file not specified, defaulting to "main.exe"
$ ./main.exe
Hello, World!
8. Think I'm onto something so look around for an additional installation
step I perhaps did not take, such as building libraries from source shipped
with the distro. Nope, can't find any. I can't imagine why that would even
be necessary, to support Win32 on Alphas maybe?
So alas, here I sit frustrated, waiting for comp.lang.functional, and I
figured I'd try you guys. Has anyone else had this problem? If not,
perhaps you still have an idea of what's going on? This would be much
appreciated...
