To fix a pair of showstopper bugs, an updated version of the
win32 MSI installer has been uploaded. It includes the following
fixes:
- as was, -fvia-C fell over due to header files not being in the
expected place within the install tree.
- The ghci wrapper now quotes the command-line arguments that
it passes on. This, hopefully, fixes the handling of filenames
containing
spaces.
For people that have already downloaded the distribution &
don't want to redo it, here's how to patch an installation tree:
- create /path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/include
- move /path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/*.h to \
/path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/include/
- compile up the attached ghci wrapper, thusly:
foo$ /path/to/ghc-6.0/bin/ghc -o ghci ghci.c
foo$ cp ghci.exe /path/to/ghc-6.0/bin/
(Note: this'll give you an icon-less version of the GHCi wrapper.)
