Hi Patrick. This is probably because you need to build HDirect in two stages - once without typelibrary support, and once with. Here is the process I used to build HDirect 0.17 with ghc 4.08 under NT (much is probably irrelevant as I think some of these problems have been sorted by Sigbjorne):
Building HDIrect 0.17 - Uninstall previous versions of HDirect including "lib/imports/com" and associated libraries, which don't work very well with GHC 4.08.2. - Get the source from the HDirect web site and untar it somewhere. - You may need to edit "lib/WideStringSrc.c" if you use the latest Cygwin distribution to remove a clashing definition and declaration of wcslen(). - Build per the instructions in the INSTALL file. - This gives you a bare bones ihc.exe which cannot handle type libraries. - Install the freshly built lib/*.hi files in a new ghc "lib/imports/com" directory and also the libraries (libHScom.a, libhdirect.a) into ghc's "lib" directory. - Do "make clean", deleting "src/ihc.exe" by hand. - Set SUPPORT_TYPELIBS=YES in "src/Makefile" - "make boot", "make", then "make lib" as before. - You now have version 0.17 of HDirect for Windows.
