Re: How do you build GHC 9.2.4 cross compilers for windows?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to build a 9.2.4 windows cross compiler? Hadrian seems to get in the way a lot?

This is the essence of what we tried to get working:

./configure --enable-bootstrap-with-devel-snapshot --build=x86_64-apple-darwin --host=x86_64-apple-darwin --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 hadrian --flavour=default+no_dynamic_ghc --docs=no-sphinx -j

Can someone please advise how this is supposed to be built now?

Can you explain what went wrong? In general cross-compiling for Windows should be like any other target. Sadly I've been unable to test Windows in particular due to a nixpkgs bug [1] but I have had plenty of luck compiling for other platforms.
