WinHugs May 2006, missing Regex.Posix.dll

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi,

I just got the bug report at the bottom of this email message

Basically, Text.Regex.Posix.dll is not build by the makefile, here is
the appropriate bit of the makefile log, which doesn't have that file
being built.

Skipping base package
Configuring haskell98-1.0...

The skipping base package is kind of worrying, and it never seems to
call ffihugs with the Posix.dll

Thanks

--- user submitted bug ----
when I run this simple script:

module Nils where
import Text.Regex

main = do print "hello"

I get the following error in winhugs:

ERROR file:{Hugs}\packages\base\Text\Regex\Posix.hs -
Error while importing DLL "C:\Program
Files\WinHugs\packages\base\Text\Regex\Posix.dll"

This used to work fine in the january release. Do you
know if anything is missing?
