ghc-5.02.2 is not a cygwin application, so it won't
understand paths like /d/foo -- it will understand
d:/foo and d:\foo though.
Internally, the compiler will canonicalise paths to
'platform-native' formats before passing them to
external tools, which is why you see the slashes
reversed. GHC coul

As a rule, none. Always recompile your code for every new
release.

No, I don't think you missed anything, it's a wrinkle
in the OPTIONS impl that probably ought to be
straightened out.

Hi,
the linker is telling you, in a not too user-friendly a way,
that your program is missing a module Main which exports
'main', which is Haskell's convention for the 'entry point'
to a program.
So, instead of "Hello()" try "Main" (or "Main(main)")

Hi,
GreenCard is still widely used, but doesn't offer any
support for what you're wanting to do.
Is the auto-generation of proxy code around the Haskell
functions you want to export worth your while to get
started with HDirect? Don't know, you may want to try
doing it manually for a couple of th

Hi,
your e-mail message looks as if it got stuck in a queue
somewhere, but just in case you didn't see this,

Hi,
haven't looked into this one, but Haggis is way out of

This is only the start of significant amount of trouble if you

from the Haskell web site could with benefit ju
This is just what we agreed on a couple of months ago, no?
I'm afraid this has been sitting on my HDirect ToDo list since
then, as I've been busy with misc other Haskell-related matters.
However, I've unqueued the item & implemented something
