I build darcs under cygwin, using a static libcurl and libz.  I make the 
following change to configure.ac:

/builds/darcs-2.0.0 > diff configure.ac~ configure.ac
396c396
< CURLLDFLAGS=
---
 > # CURLLDFLAGS=


and then autoconf, and configure like this:


export CURLCFLAGS="-Ic:/builds/curl-7.16.0/include -DCURL_STATICLIB"
export CURLLDFLAGS="-Lc:/builds/curl-7.16.0 -lcurl -lwinmm -lws2_32 -lws2_32"
export CPPFLAGS=-Ic:/builds/zlib-1.2.3
export LDFLAGS=-Lc:/builds/zlib-1.2.3
export CC=c:/mingw/bin/gcc

./configure --without-libcurl --target=mingw


The --without-libcurl is to prevent the automatic detection of libcurl, not 
to disable libcurl.  I did all this a while back, I guess the issue is 
something to do with not wanting to bother with installing libcurl/libz.


Anyway, my darcs2 build on Windows just fell over like this:

[ghc] src/Darcs/Arguments.o

src/Darcs/Arguments.lhs:88:39:
     Warning: Imported from `Darcs.Hopefully' but not used: `info'

                except perhaps instances visible in `Darcs.Patch.Info'
              To suppress this warning, use: import Darcs.Patch.Info()

     Warning: Module `Darcs.Progress' is imported, but nothing from it is used,
                except perhaps instances visible in `Darcs.Progress'
              To suppress this warning, use: import Darcs.Progress()

src/Darcs/Arguments.lhs:107:52:

I've removed -Werror for now.
