Yes. And Sigbjorn's one provides these packages. It lacks just C++ files. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2007-May/012538.html There is no C++ files in your installer. But if anyone want to build C++ source code by GHC, he disappoint about that. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1024 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2007-April/thread.html#12408 The reason I didn't enable C++ support in prep-bin-dist-mingw is because of that comment, and because I don't know how to test it. Basically I chickened out. Are you saying it should just be uncommented in prep-bin-dist-mingw? Yes, and if new installer also cause that problem, I want to know it. I don't have InstallerShield, so I don't fix its problem. But Inno Setup is OpenSource, so, although Neil doesn't fix this problem on current time, we can fix this (Of cource, installer's source must be available). And I think it's good time to fix installer's problem when someone release binary distribution. Because we aren't insterested in chanaging installer source before release time. I think a few of its reason is we can't fix installer easily, and if someone want to use development version, she can build binary herself or download snapshot build. And she want to use installer only at that very moment when new version is released.

Indeed, that's exactly what I meant in my original msg. I have always thought
it ugly that stdin and stdout are top-level definitions. I want to be able to
say
withStdout :: Handle - IO a - IO a
so that (withStdout h a) runs 'a' but sends all std-out output to h.
Haskell should support this. Starting a whole OS process to redirect stdout
must surely be overkill!
And we do have support for this in GHC.

Is there any way to create a handle which dumps its input into a
string or memory buffer of some kind? I only know of the ability to
open file/socket handles, and a quick browse of GHC/Handle.hs doesn't
seem to indicate anything else. I'm not counting
createPipe/fdToHandle because that is not portable.
