Hi, I wrote the instructions in the WIN32 file. This looks like the same problem that I originally had with the SDL package, mangling of "main" function in C land by the hand of the C SDL.h include file.
If you look at the .hsc files from the SDL package, you will see the fix I applied at the top of each file, after #including SDL.h the evil "main" macro is undefined: #include "SDL.h" #ifdef main #undef main #endif Probably the same must be done for all the .hsc files in SDL-image(and probably also all other haskell SDL addon packages). Please let me know if this information is helpful. 2008/8/27 Garrick Chin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > > I'm trying to build the latest SDL-image package (0.5.2) from Hackage on > Windows and encountering problems.
