Hi,

Using GHC Head from Thursday, the Time package, as on Hackage, won't
compile on Windows XP. There are some errors:

In file included from cbits\HsTime.c:1:0:

include\HsTime.h:16:0:  error: syntax error before "int"
cbits\HsTime.c: In function `get_current_timezone_seconds':

cbits\HsTime.c:10:0:
     warning: implicit declaration of function `localtime'

cbits\HsTime.c:10:0:
     warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast

cbits\HsTime.c:14:0:
     error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

cbits\HsTime.c:24:0:
     error: `_tzname' undeclared (first use in this function)

cbits\HsTime.c:24:0:
     error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

cbits\HsTime.c:24:0:  error: for each function it appears in.)

cbits\HsTime.c:25:0:
     error: `_timezone' undeclared (first use in this function)

This is using a binary distribution, and using the darcs version of
time.

I don't know what these errors mean (or have time to investigate), and
Ashley doesn't really have access to Windows at the moment.

Thanks

Neil
