Compiling HDirect from CVS

[Mike Thomas]

Hi all.

I'm having a lot of trouble building the latest version of HDirect from CVS.

After setting up per the instructions, adjusting "mk/config.mk" to
substitute mingw for cygwin (avoids problems about the Posix library) and
then typing make at the top level of fptools I get the link error below.

If I go to the hdirect directory and type "make boot" followed by "make" the
same problem occurs.

I am using ghc 4.08.2 under Windows NT4 with the latest Cygwin setup.

Is "_imp___timezone_dll" a Haskell DLL, a missing Mingw lib, or some kind of
foot and mouth virus passed from the pure Scottish air to Australia's
unseasonally warm shores via cvs?

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
