well, our problem was that no one was even listening to
the problems we told you about!-)

Sigbjorn has set up nightly builds of both HEAD and STABLE
for mingw, and has merged the fixes to the STABLE branch while
bumping the version number to 6.4.1. So, windows ghc users are
no longer poor cousins, and can get the benefits of bug-fixes
without going for development builds (which are somewhere in
the 6.5 region) or waiting for infrequent releases. no need for
ugly work-arounds;-)

as for being able to build wxhaskell themselves, I'm in the process
of giving that a go (windows xp with cygwin and mingw,ghc-6.4.1,
wxhaskell-src-0.9.4-1.zip,wxWidgets 2.6.0+2 patches). wxWidgets
seems to have built and installed just fine, and ./configure for
wxHaskell works, but when trying to make wxHaskell, I get the
error below. Any suggestions?

cheers,
