You don't need to change the .cabal file, if you specify the paths to the libraries and header files in environment variables, see: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Windows#Tools_for_compilation If there are DLLs missing, you can find out which, using cygcheck from the Cygwin project. Note, that you will get problems if you have both MinGW and Cygwin in your search path; it is best to specify the full path to cygcheck.exe, or copy cygcheck.exe to some location in the search path.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] text-icu on Windows
Hi John, I just tried this out and if I copied all of the .dll files from the icu4c bin folder into the same folder as the test icu.exe it works as expected. You can see what dlls are missing with the dependency walker program http://www.dependencywalker.com/. Perhaps with a mingw based build of icu4c (the one I used said it was built with Visual Studio 10) you could avoid this.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] text-icu on Windows
Also note that running in the console produces no error message, but running by double-clicking from explorer does produce an error message that specifies one of the missing dlls: --- icu.exe - System Error --- The program can't start because icuin51.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. --- OK --- Ryan Yates On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 7:53 PM, Ryan Yates fryguy...@gmail.com wrote: Hi John, I just tried this out and if I copied all of the .dll files from the icu4c bin folder into the same folder as the test icu.exe it works as expected.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] text-icu on Windows
Ryan, Many thanks for your reply. I was assuming ghc would statically link against the library files instead of relying on the dll's. I will see if I can build the library from source under mingw. An alternative would be to distribute the needed dlls with the binary.
