Thanks. I installed msys but again I faced the same problem. I solved it by copying mingw directory from ghc-7.6.3 distribution to inplace/mingw subdirectory in the source tree. That's silly but it works. I suspect this is because you've cloned repo under system other than windows and thus didn't clone ghc-tarballs repo. Now I have problems with installing alex and happy. I followed steps on wiki page, ie. downloaded cabal.exe and added it to path. I can run 'cabal update' and 'cabal install alex happy' but it looks like packages are not installed in my home directory (home under msys shell that is). Any idea where are they installed so that I can add them to path? AFAIUI, default prefix is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\cabal\<arch>-windows-ghc-<version>.
But I'd recommend to install things to predefined location, using --prefix option of cabal, e.g. thus: cabal install --global --prefix=<location> --datadir=<location> to avoid potential problems with national chars in username. This problem existed in the past, not sure it exists now, though. Kyra
