Hi, the curl binding certainly needs some love---if anyone has the time to fix it up and maintain it, help would be most appreciated. There is a repo for it over here: https://github.com/GaloisInc/curl which is the most up-to date version I know of, but since the last commit there seems to be

Heh, I was trying to build this yesterday and it was making by eyes bleed. With the curl package on Hackage, I merely need an SSL enabled version of libcurl, and every Linux distro I've tried this on has several variations of such a package. (You have a choice of OpenSSL or GNUTLS, for example.)

Isn't Curl a C library (with a Haskell binding)? For Haskell bindings the best environment on Windows is usually MinGW / MSys, but your error suggests you should be building from Cygwin in this case. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list

2012-11-09 Thread Stephen Tetley
I've just checked Hackage - the Curl package (haskell) is a binding to libcurl (c library). It looks like MinGW / MSys is the best option - there are some notes are written by Sigbjorn Finne (who wrote the Haskell binding) although they are now quite old:
