HsTime.h isn't installed by the Windows installer

Description (Last modified by igloo)

[I'm not sure if this is really a bug in the Windows installer maker or if it's a problem with building the library with ghc (rather than as a standalone cabal package). I can reproduce it on my Windows install, but not with the Debian packages]

Alistair Bayley reports in http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2007-February/006864.html

If I try to compile this Main.hs: 

module Main where
import Data.Time
main = getCurrentTime >>= print

with this ghc-6.6 command: 

ghc --make Main -o test -O

... I get this error: 

C:\DOCUME~1\bayleya\LOCALS~1\Temp\ghc728_0\ghc728_0.hc:8:20: HsTime.h:
No such file or directory

This problem also affects Linux; it's not Windows-specific. But it's not enough to install HsTime?.h; you also have to install HsTimeConfig?.h, because HsTime?.h #includes it. I have no idea where HsTimeConfig?.h comes from; it's not part of the time package, and in fact I can't build the time package standalone because it's nowhere to be found. It seems to be built by configure.ac from include/HsTimeConfig.h.in, but that doesn't show up in my darcs repo. Help!

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.
  • milestone changed from 6.6.1 to Not GHC.

Fixed for GHC build by patch HsTime.h should be installed. Fixed for Cabal build by patch includes -> install-includes. README now mentions autoreconf for Cabal build from darcs.
