Hi,

have a look at the top of that file - it tells you what options you need to
feed
GHC to compile the example (well, the options it suggests are deprecated
by The Powers That Be; you ought to use "-package" instead of "-syslib").

Simpler yet, try running it via ghci:

  c:\src\haskell> ghci -package win32 hello.lhs

and then evaluate 'main'.

hth
--sigbjorn

btw, notice that ghc-5.02 currently has got a problem or two with the
Win32 library -- see
