[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform
I maintain the regex-posix package, so I feel the need for a quick post. I am glad the recent patch I accepted means the hackage version is working on Windows. If there is any additional things that need to be done with regex-* please let me know. Cheers, Chris.

I have found this project: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/regex.htm and downloaded the DLL. But just placing this in Windows/System32 does nothing.

[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform
I was assuming that regex would work properly with the latest Haskell Platform so I haven't attempted to re-install it. However as I mentioned above, attempting to compile a program that uses regex fails with linker errors on my Windows XP machine. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

If you are compiling a program that uses regex-posix, you shouldn't need to install other DLLs as the relevant libraries (.a and .o files) are distributed with the Platform. For what its worth, Regex-posix worked fine with Platform 2009.2.0.2. I follow GHC releases rather than Platform ones, so I don't know about later versions.

[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform
I'm running cabal install for the program that uses regex-compat. runhaskell doesn't work because compiling the code requires library information in the cabal file. I've also tried to run something similar using ghci on the same machine and it also fails with a similar error.

The bug tracker recommended just installing from Hackage so with some trepidation I typed: cabal install regex-posix and everything now works as expected! So sorry for the waste of bandwidth.
