[Haskell-cafe] PortAudio library successfully built on Windows

[M Xyz]

John Lask, 
The steps you enumerated below successfully built portaudio for me! Thank you!

I wonder though, you said to rename the dll to libpa19.dll from portaudio_x86.dll
and to change the .cabal entry from "extra-Libraries: portaudio" to "extra-Libraries: pa19".
Since my .dll name and .cabal file entry were mismatched, was that what could have been wrong all along? Was the creation of a .a file necessary?
I would delete the .a file and retry with libportaudio.dll but I won't push my luck.

Now if I could just get Gtk2hs working now, I could be happy *and* productive. :)

I don't know whether this will help you but I just downloaded an built
the haskell portaudio package ... (I had a windows msvc build of
portaudio dll already) the process I used ... ghc 6.10.4, portaudio-19

make an import lib for ghc from dll:
pexports libpa19.dll > libpa19.def
dlltool --input-def libpa19.def --output-lib libpa19.a

edit the .cabal file or use command line flags

  extra-Libraries: pa19
  extra-lib-dirs: c:\portaudio19\lib
  include-dirs:   c:\portaudio19\include

 runghc setup configure

make sure you have cpp i.e. the c-preprocessor on your exe path,
otherwise you will get
'cpp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
c2hs.exe: Error during preprocessing custom header file

runghc setup build

builds ok ...??
