Yes I managed to find winbase.h and it declares SleepEx (and so the compilation stage works). From the link error, it would seem that I'm missing the library that defines SleepEx (kernel32.lib according to MSDN), but this file exists in both MinGW and GHC's lib directories. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it needs to be renamed to libkernel32.lib, which I'll try on Monday.
Thanks for your reply (and for the most natural VCS I've ever used!) cheers, Rob On 15/12/2007, David Roundy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm afraid I'm no help here (since I don't have windows, or windows > experience), but just wanted to say that I'm glad you're trying out darcs 2 > on windows, and hope you get it compiled successfully.
