HDirect

[Johannes Goetz]

OK... I got it to compile... make boot; make; make install. It was
that easy. ;-) Now I have a bunch of files residing in

/usr/local/bin:
ihc.exe

/usr/local/lib:
HDirect.lhs  PointerPrim.dll  WideString.hs   libHShdirect.a
HShdirect.o  PointerPrim.hs   hslibs-imports  libHShdirect_p.a
Pointer.lhs  WideString.dll   libHScom.a

/usr/local/lib/hslibs-imports:
hdirect

/usr/local/lib/hslibs-imports/hdirect:
HDirect.hi    Pointer.hi    PointerPrim.hi    WideString.hi
HDirect.p_hi  Pointer.p_hi  PointerPrim.p_hi  WideString.p_hi

/usr/local/share:
AutoPrim.hi       ComPrim.hi           HDirect.hi        SafeArrayPrim.c
AutoPrim.hs       ComPrim.hs           HDirect.lhs       StdDispatch.hi

ComDll.hi         EnumInterface.hi     PointerSrc.c      WideString.p_hi
ComDll.lhs        EnumInterface.lhs    Registry.c        WideStringSrc.c
ComException.hi   ExeServer.hi         SafeArray.hi      com.pkg

I use ghc 6.0.1 for Windows (windows installer ditrib downloaded from
haskell.org/ghc), which lives in c:/ghc/ghc-6.0.1/.
Make install seems to have added the package hdirect
to this ghc. The com package is missing... When trying to invoke
ghci with -package com it prints out

$ ghci -package com
c:\ghc\GHC-60~1.1\bin\ghc.exe: unknown package name: com

After copying the files above to
c:/ghc/ghc-6.0.1/hslibs-imports/hdirect,
c:/ghc/ghc-6.0.1/, and c:/ghc/ghc-6.0.1/imports respectively,

calling ghci with -package hdirect gives me

Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Loading package lang ... linking ... done.
Loading package hdirect ... linking ...
c:/ghc/ghc-6.0.1/HShdirect.o: unknown symbol `___stginit_Word_'
c:\ghc\GHC-60~1.1\bin\ghc.exe: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.
0.1):
        can't load package `hdirect'

Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.

I'm stuck. What is the correct way of integrating hdirect into ghc-6.0.1?

Thanks very much,
Johannes
