[Haskell-cafe] FastCGI under Windows

[Kevin Jardine]

Just to provide completion to this thread, I gave up on Haskell Windows web development after discovering that some important libraries like network-minihttp did not compile under Windows (and I could never get FastCGI to work properly either, although it did compile).

I'm now developing using Fedora running in VirtualBox. It took several hours to get the Haskell Platform installed properly under the Fedora version I'll be deploying to (Fedora 9), but now everything seems fine, including FastCGI.

Since my end goal is to deploy to Fedora 9 in any case, this seems a good solution.
