Re: GHC 7.8.4 for Windows 32bit

In a similar vein, are instructions for how to build Windows release builds online anywhere? Edward Excerpts from Malcolm Wallace's message of 2015-03-11 03:45:10 -0700:

Any progress yet on win32 builds?

Sorry about that; at the time I was having trouble with my build bots and I've continuously had trouble remoting into the Win32 machines I have... The 64bit build bots worked fine, but the 32 ones consistently had flaky internet connectivity, to the point I couldn't bootstrap GHC itself. I tried yesterday again, and seem to have fallen pray to something else (which makes it so I cannot RDP in at all right now, it seems).

I've actually assembled a new PC here (that I have not yet installed Windows on) however, so hopefully I can shortly get binaries up.

Hi,

GHC 7.8.4 was released a little while ago, but there still isn't a Windows 32bit version available. With my "MinGHC maintainer" hat on we're getting quite a lot of requests for a 32bit 7.8.4 version. With my "using Haskell commercially" hat on the lack of a 32bit build is causing delays to infrastructure upgrades. Any timeline for a 32bit Windows build? Anything you're stuck on?

Going forward, it seems the 32bit Windows version remains popular, so if all releases and release candidates came with such a version it would be great. I note there wasn't (and still might not be) a 7.10 RC, and as a result I've only tested my packages on Linux.

Thanks, Neil
