Subject: Updated ghc-6.0 windows installer available


> To fix a pair of showstopper bugs, an updated version of the
> win32 MSI installer has been uploaded. It includes the following
> fixes:
> 
>   - as was, -fvia-C fell over due to header files not being in the
>     expected place within the install tree.
>   - The ghci wrapper now quotes the command-line arguments that
>      it passes on. This, hopefully, fixes the handling of filenames
> containing
>      spaces.
> 
> For people that have already downloaded the distribution &
> don't want to redo it, here's how to patch an installation tree:
> 
>    - create /path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/include
>    - move /path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/*.h to \
>               /path/to/ghc-6.0/gcc-lib/include/
>    - compile up the attached ghci wrapper, thusly:
> 
>        foo$ /path/to/ghc-6.0/bin/ghc -o ghci ghci.c
>        foo$ cp ghci.exe /path/to/ghc-6.0/bin/
> 
>        (Note: this'll give you an icon-less version of the GHCi wrapper.)

 *
 * ghci wrapper - invokes ghc.exe with the added command-line
 *                option "--interactive".
 *
 * (c) The GHC Team 2001
 *
 * ghc.exe is searched for using the 'normal' search rules
 * for DLLs / EXEs (i.e., first in the same dir as this wrapper,
 * then system dirs, then PATH).
 *
 * To compile:
 *
 *   MSVC:    cl /o ghci.exe /c ghciwrap.c
 *   mingw:   gcc -mno-cygwin -o ghci.exe ghciwrap.c
 *
 * If you want to associate your own icon with the wrapper,
 * here's how to do it:
 *
 *   * Create a one-line .rc file, ghci.rc (say), containing
 *          0 ICON "hsicon.ico"
 *     (subst the string literal for the name of your icon file).
 *   * Compile it up (assuming the .ico file is in the same dir
 *     as the .rc file):
 *
 *         MSVC:    rc /i. /fo ghci.res ghci.rc 
 *         mingw:   windres -o ghci.res -i ghci.rc -O coff
 *
 *   * Add the resulting .res file to the link line of the wrapper:
 *
 *     MSVC:    cl /o ghci.exe /c ghciwrap.c ghci.res
 *     mingw:   gcc -mno-cygwin -o ghci.exe ghciwrap.c ghci.res
 *
