We don't do this with GHC.

You have to set PATH as usual (I presume that is in autoexec.bat on Windows 
'98).

I suspect this problem has more to do with the bug in ghci.exe (see the 
fixed version posted by Sigbjorn; I'll be uploading a fixed InstallShield 
as soon as I can fix one or two other serious problems) than any error in 
your command line, which looks fine.

 Also, how do I tell ghci where to find packages?

 C:\Program Files\Glasgow Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\bin>ghci -package lang
 C:\PROGRA~1\GLASGO~1\GHC-5.02\BIN\GHC.EXE: no input files
 Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

Packages seem to be a problem on some windows system with ghci 5.02.
At least I could not load them on NT (got the same message as you), 
but it works well on my windows 2000 installation.

Dumb Windows Question

2001-10-15 Thread Steinitz, Dominic J

How do I actually use ghc in Windows (98)? When I installed Hugs, my .hs files got 
associated with Hugs and if I left-click on a .hs file I have various options to run 
with.

So do I open a DOS box and invoke ghc or ghci? If so how, what do I have to change to 
get the path to point to ghc? I tried autoexec.bat but this seemed to have no effect.

Also, how do I tell ghci where to find packages?

C:\Program Files\Glasgow Haskell Compiler\ghc-5.02\bin>ghci -package lang
C:\PROGRA~1\GLASGO~1\GHC-5.02\BIN\GHC.EXE: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

I did look through the documentation. If I missed the relevant sections, perhaps 
someone could point me at them.

Many thanks, Dominic.
