Yes, this is exactly it. I mean, I could probably hack the incomplete mingw header files to add the functions I need, but I thought it'd be much easier to just use Microsoft's development environment. > Perhaps you could clarify what it is you're trying to do (the end goal, > just just the minutia) so we can see what feature it is that Cabal is > missing that would help your situation.

The end goal is to sneak Haskell into the work place ;-) What I'd really like to see is the ability to “drive” development completely from Haskell. With that I mean to, just as on Linux, have a single cabal file that compiles the C code containing the wrappers while still having access to a complete development environment. On Windows that means compiling C/C++ with MS's tool set. I hope that clarifies what goes on in my muddy mind a bit... /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?
