Cygwin error: D:\Haskell\bin/windres: can't open temporary file `\/cca02652.irc': No such file or directory

I am using cygwin. While in cygwin, when I try to make EHC, the essential haskell compiler, I get the following error: D:\Haskell\bin/windres: can't open temporary file `\/cca02652.irc': No such file or directory strip: 'build/libutil/setup.exe': No such file There are no strange permission in the folder I'm running the make. I'm the administrator and am running cygwin in "run as adminstrator" mode. Could someone help me? I'm really stuck with this. Much appreciated, Remy.

I'm trying to install the package directory from cygwin. I am a windows user
and have tried to use "cabal install directory" from the windows prompt but
that quickly gives an error about a missing tool.
I'm using cygwin to install directory now. However I still get an error. The
error is:
* Missing header file: HsDirectory.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
I have searched for this file and found it in the
"Haskell\directory1.0.1.0\include" folder. I googled the error and found
something about adding #include

Hi Remy Directory is shipped with GHC - so if you are working with GHC you wil have it already - it provides the module System.Directory. Best wishes Stephen
