Fwd: Network on GHC 6.12 with Windows

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi Johan,

I just tried compiling network-2.2.1.5 with GHC 6.12.1rc2 on Windows,
under Cygwin. The failures I got were:

$ runhaskell Setup build

Setup.hs:3:0:
   Warning: In the use of `defaultUserHooks'
            (imported from Distribution.Simple):
            Deprecated: "Use simpleUserHooks or autoconfUserHooks,
unless you need Cabal-1.2
            compatibility in which case you must stick with
defaultUserHooks"

I then tried the darcs version and got:

$ runhaskell Setup configure

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-hc
Setup: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing header file: HsNet.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library
is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.

I was really hoping for a Network package on GHC 6.12, as lots of my
stuff depends (indirectly) on it. Is there anything I can do to help?

Thanks, Neil
