Hi Claus. Moral support but little else below....

Although I feel the Win32 package is important I am finding it impossible to build GHC from CVS in order to debug my main project which, (unfortunately for your own interest in HGL), uses ObjectIO, so I felt that I was unable to offer anything coherent to you. I can't even get as far as the Win32 library while building GHC from scratch at the moment. > We suspect that Alastairs fixes may still leave some issues with > concurrency / potentially blocking threads / ffi (at least in GHC's > default configuration on windows), but we'd like to see just how far > the improvements go, as the next stable release of GHC is imminent. I suspect that the problems I had with profiling the ObjectIO library recently reported on the bugs list are also caused by thread issues, but I can't test this hypothesis due to the problems outlined above. > * Could anyone with cvs/fptools/makefile-expertise lend me a hand > * if I try again to build only hslibs/win32 from cvs?

The setting in fptools/mk/build.mk seems to be ignored now? Yes, I haven't found a way of getting around this problem myself other than hard wiring the compiler (possibly in target.mk from memory?) > Any helpful souls out there, who could lead me through the jungle of > bewildering makefiles tomorrow (target date for feature completeness > for the next release)?
