Excellent! We have a Windows Task Force, consisting roughly of the folk
in
cc. So they would be the first group to ask.
(I think it would be very helpful to have a Windows Task Force home page,
so
that it’s easier to find the group.)
thanks for helping with Windows.

Hi all,
I notice there are a series of related long-standing issues subject to
particular cygwin64 quirks, and I'd like to offer time to help resolve
Hi Simon,
We do have a page on Trac with the members:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WindowsTaskForce
We could add the extra information there.
Regards,
Tamar

One really helpful thing would be to
· make a wiki home page for the Windows Task Force
· list who is on it
· list the main tasks “in flight” and what their status is
· any other plans
Anything to broaden visibility of the WTF, and encourage others to join
in. Communication is all in an open-source context!
Thanks for working on Windows… it’s a very popular platform, and needs your
love!
Simon

To expand on that (let's see if I can do this without accidentally sending
again, oops!):
Roman, I will get in touch with you on a separate email thread to see if we
can find an optimal way to coordinate, something that satisfies our
schedules and needs. Others please feel free to bug me any time by email (
dedgrant@gmail.com) or on freenode #ghc as dedgrant, PST hours.
In the meantime I'll be auditing some of the related backlogged tickets on
trac. If there's something I can do to help further the goal of a Windows
Task Force page, please let me know.
Pleased to meet everyone!
Cheers,
Darren

if possible
At this point I've had some exposure to the GHC build process (7.8.3), and
have poked around the GHC linker to gain some low level insight.
Would anyone be available to fill me in on the current state of affairs
with
mingw64 GHCi linking? For instance, is there ongoing work, or perhaps a
preferred direction but no available developer bandwidth to proceed?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Darren
