Sounds like a bug report is in order. So, yet again, it appears I'm the first poor soul to try using this on Windows. The very first time I tried to use Gtk2hs, the installer for Windows was trivially broken. In fairness, Duncan fixed this within an hour or two of me pointing out the problem. But the fact remains: It had been out for a week, and I was the *only* person to have tried to use it on Windows. (Or possibly the only person to actually complain, rather than just give up.) Don kept telling me about some cool Core syntax hilighter he wrote, so I went to all the trouble of downloading it, downloading and building all of its dependencies, only to discover "oh, by the way, it only works on Linux". A while back Cabal had a bug where (on Windows only) it couldn't find ld or something daft. [Again, fortunately that one got corrected - eventually - in the next GHC release.] I try to run sdist, and discover that that's broken on Windows too. But don't worry, there's a replacement tool... which is also broken on Windows... This is an exercise in pure frustration! Sometimes it seems as if *everything* is broken on Windows. Hmm... I'm just ranting now. One presumes that when they "fixed" cabal sdist to work on Windows, at least one person checked that it did, in fact, work. That would mean it got broken again at some point after this. Maybe I just need to find an older version or something... And after that... I guess I create *another* account on *another* bug tracker and submit *another* "hey, this is broken on Windows" ticket... _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@... http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe |

(presumably because windows sucks). Maybe you could help them by trying to track down where the error in the code is, and even better yet submitting a patch? This is all free by the virtue of people giving what time they can, and if you don't happen to have a windows box to test on, it can be very hard to provide compatibility for it.

Same in the reverse direction. > > -Ross Well, Duncan informs me that he's just set up a Windows XP VM for this exact reason... Still, I guess this problem will only really be solved once he have large quantities of Windows users hitting this stuff. Indeed, Duncan seems to be one of the more helpful inhabitants of the Haskell IRC channel. I talked to him tonight, and he's already fixed some of the documentation issues I pointed out earlier, and done a preliminary analysis of the sdist bug. (It's filed as ticket #565 now, by the way.) Anyway, for the time being, cabal-install does in fact generate the tarball, it's just tripping over trying to delete the temp files afterwards. So I can still uplo-- wait, you need an account? Is anything ELSE going to stop me??

In my opinion you're right, Windows, and things built on it, tend to be very broken. Maybe that's why so many of the Haskell devs aren't using Windows?
Yes, you are :) You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Good luck, Jason _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@... http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe |

And in such a trivial package... o_O Still, at least it's an easy fix. ;-) I don't think I'll bother making another upload just for this; the fix is applied to my local copy, but I'll wait until I have something more substantial to upload for the next version.
