So to summarise, the following are missing from the binary distribution that Neil used as the basis for his installer:
* readline * ALUT * OpenAL * GLUT * C++ support in the bundled GCC right? I can try to roll another binary distribution, but I don't know much about these packages or C++ support so I'm guessing a bit. shelarcy wrote: > You forgot to include GLUT and readline packages. > I think you can't build these packages, so you don't include it. > > This is well-known problem, if build GHC your self. > Because MInGW doesn't have these headers and library files in its directory. > > http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2006-October/011253.html > http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2006-December/018919.html > > So you must copy these files from old GHC's directory first, and > then building new GHC.

Basically I chickened out. Are you saying it should just be uncommented in prep-bin-dist-mingw?
