It misparsed +the output of `sha256`, and thought every file had a SHA256 of "SHA256". +Added multiple layers of protection against checksum programs not having +the expected output format. + +Lots more building and rebuilding today of Android libs than I wanted to do. +Finally have a completly clean build, which might be able to open TCP +connections. Will test tomorrow. + +In the meantime, I fired up the evil twin of my development laptop. +It's identical, except it runs Windows. + +I installed the Haskell Platform for Windows on it, and removed +some of the bloatware to free up disk space and memory for development. +While a rather disgusting experience, I certianly have a usable Haskell +development environment on this OS a lot faster than I did on Android! +Cabal is happily installing some stuff, and other stuff wants me to install +Cygwin. + +So, the clock on my month of working on a Windows port starts now. Since +I've already done rather a lot of ground work that was necessary for a +Windows port (direct mode, crippled filesystem support), and for general +sanity and to keep everything else from screeching to a halt, I plan to +only spend half my time messing with Windows over the next 30 days. -- cgit v1.2.3
