Ok. Now I get another error:

    myPrompt> ghc --make -fffi f.hs -lmylib.lib
    ghc --make -fffi f.hs -lmylib.lib
    Linking f.exe ...
    d:\ghc\ghc6.6\gcc-lib\ld.exe: cannot find -lmylib.lib
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

which is strange because the file mylib.lib is in the same directory
as the haskell code.

Any thoughts?

thanks,
  Jeff
