I checked into that particular build failure and it looks as though cabal-install is catching keyboard signals and terminating the (G)HC process. While this is a good idea, it doesn't seem absolutely necessary for V1.0. Perhaps we could remove it and similar features until cabal-install gets up and stable? Then we can reintroduce such features.
I'll see if I can get the thing to build on Windows, but have successfully avoided using Window for development until now so might not be too competent... (err... read "even less competent".) - Alson --- Isaac Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would anyone care to try to get cabal-install going on windows?
