[Haskell-cafe] wxHaskell on Windows compilation problems

[Michael Jones]

The precompiled version will not support my application due to command line handling issues discussed elsewhere, and a few enhancements to handle very large (100K rows) tables, that are probably not high enough quality to put into the mainline, due to lack of time to make them such.

I’ll look at the instructions a bit closer, but at least I know mingw32-make should create the file, so I can focus on that problem first.

Thanks,

Mike
