Hi, I've been perusing the documentation looking for what I've done wrong... 1. I got the latest versions of both Cygwin and GHC. 2. I installed Cygwin on a clean partition, F: 3. I installed GHC in /usr/share/ghc/ (on F:, of course) 4. I copied the Perl binary over to /bin, and pointed the bang in the ghc script to the location of the binary (I found this a necessary step). 5. I got a little test program from the web: {--------------------------------------} module Main where main = putStrLn "Hello, World!" {--------------------------------------} 6. Tried to compile said program: $ ghc main.hs Output file not specified, defaulting to "main.exe" gcc: F:/usr/share/ghc/lib/Main.dll_o: No such file or directory gcc: F:/usr/share/ghc/lib/PrelMain.dll_o: No such file or directory 7. Confirmed that these files exist nowhere on the partition. Messed around some more to no avail, came across static flag and tried that: $ rm Main.hi main.o $ ghc -static main.hs Output file not specified, defaulting to "main.exe" $ ./main.exe Hello, World! 8. Think I'm onto something so look around for an additional installation step I perhaps did not take, such as building libraries from source shipped with the distro. Nope, can't find any. I can't imagine why that would even be necessary, to support Win32 on Alphas maybe? So alas, here I sit frustrated, waiting for comp.lang.functional, and I figured I'd try you guys. Has anyone else had this problem? If not, perhaps you still have an idea of what's going on? This would be much appreciated...
