mingw (2.0.x) supplies a libreadline.a, but no header files to go with it, which is why the readline package isn't being built (and shipped.) Hopefully this will be fixed in a future release (of mingw.)
You can either go the route you suggest, or pick up a mingw port of readline (there's a couple kicking about) and just compile up the readline package. hth --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ganesh Sittampalam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 09:45 Subject: readline package in GHC 6.0.1 on Windows > Hi, > > I notice that the readline package is missing from the Windows MSI build > of GHC 6.0.1.
