Re: Installing on Win32 and web library question

2000-07-20 Thread Reuben Thomas

 I have just tried to install ghc-4.08 on a win98 machine and it does not
 work. I write a report below.

Unfortunately the instructions you were following are slightly out of
date. I have now corrected them. You don't need to run ./configure, as the
binary distribution of 4.08 fully installs itself (you only need
./configure when building from source).

Once you've run the InstallShield of 4.08, GHC should be ready for use
(except for setting environment variables such as PATH and TMPDIR; the
instructions for these are still correct).

 SET MAKE_MODE=unix
 SET SHELL=C:\BIN\SH
 SET HOME=C:\USR\LABRA
 SET TMPDIR=C:\TMP
 SET
 PATH=c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin;C:\BIN;C:\USR\LOCAL\BIN;%PATH%

This looks good.

Installing on Win32 and web library question

2000-07-19 Thread Jose Emilio Labra Gayo

I have just tried to install ghc-4.08 on a win98 machine and it does not
work. I write a report below.

On the other side, I would like to do some programming on the Internet
using Haskell and I would like to use some library like libwww for
Haskell. Are there someone planning to develop such a library?

Best regards, Jose E. Labra

My report about installing ghc-4.08 is the following:

I start 'sh' and I try to run 'configure' in the directory where I
installed ghc-4.08. I obtain:

$ ./configure
configure: error: can not find sources in . or ..

More details:

- The directory where I installed it is: c:\compi\ghc-4.08
- My autoexec.bat contains the lines:

echo  Para GHC
SET MAKE_MODE=unix
SET SHELL=C:\BIN\SH
SET HOME=C:\USR\LABRA
SET TMPDIR=C:\TMP
SET PATH=c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin;C:\BIN;C:\USR\LOCAL\BIN;%PATH%

- I think I have followed the instructions in:
