Hi there, it includes quite a bit more 'stuff' -- profiling libraries + a bunch of tools that's needed by the backend on that platform.
To help you out a little bit, I've tar'ed up the profiling libraries separate from the main distribution tar bundle, which shaves off some 10M. Available via http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/5.04.2/ To use, just unpack & go. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francis Girard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sigbjorn Finne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 20:20 Subject: Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 5.04.2 released > Why is the windows .msi file is more than twice as big as the Linux binary > file ? > ~35 Mb / ~16 Mb. > With my slow and unstable french internet connection, 35 Mb is more than I > can afford. > > Thank you > > Francis Girard > Le Conquet > France > > Le 5 Décembre 2002 02:54, Sigbjorn Finne a écrit : > > "Simon Marlow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > ====================================================== > > > The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 5.04.2 > > > ====================================================== > > > > ... > > > > > > A Win32 installer is now available via the downloads page > > > > http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_504.html > > > > The installer this time also includes ObjectIO. > > > > --sigbjorn > > _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
