The System.Posix.Signals interface doesn't make any sense on Windows.
We could duplicate the whole interface with "do nothing" functionality,
but it's not clear that this is the right thing to do (the interface is
quite a bit more than just installHandler).
You want something like this:
#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ < 603
#include "config.h"
#else
#include "ghcconfig.h"
#endif
#ifdef mingw32_TARGET_OS
ignorePipeSignal = return ()
#else
import System.Posix
ignorePipeSignal = installHandler sigPIPE Ignore Nothing
#endif
Maybe it would make sense to include this in a library somewhere.
Cheers,
Simon
