Dear GHC-dev friends
Does anyone feel able help me with this (below)? I'm a bit clueless, and I really think we should have a working Windows build going!
It would be so great to have someone who could give the Windows build some love. But meanwhile, just extricating me from my helpless puddle would be terrific.
Simon

Subject: RE: Make spins with THREADS>1 on Win 7
Summary: progress on Windows builds, but a show-stopper below that I'm sure some ghc-dev can help with.
Ah, I've forgotten to mention that the environment variable MSYSTEM must be set to MINGW before starting the shell
Oh, this is much better.
* The download from msys2 already includes
o python
o git
o perl
o make
o autoconf
o ssh
which saves a bunch of secondary installation goop.
* Once I set MSYSYSTEM=MINGW, things went much much better. GHC built to completion.
* make -j works fine!
* A bizarre 10-second delay when starting a shell has gone away
So I am very happy. Two things I'm stuck on.
In testsuite I get this:
testsuite (master)$ make
make -C ./tests all
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/code/HEAD/testsuite/tests'

Traceback (most recent call last):

And indeed there is no "ctypes.py", although there is a directory ctypes in c:/fp/Python27/Lib/ctypes, which contains
__init__.py
__init__.pyc
_endian.py
_endian.pyc
macholib
test
util.py
wintypes.py
But runtests.py says "import ctypes" and that's what is failing. I don't know how it worked before. Can anyone help? I'm so close!
Less importantly, but annoyingly, every run of perl, even perl -versoin, gives this:
perl --version
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "ENG"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 1 (v5.18.1) built for msys-thread-multi-64int
It's non-fatal, but annoying.
Thanks
Simon

Ah, I've forgotten to mention that the environment variable MSYSTEM must be set to MINGW before starting the shell as is in mingw_shell.bat:
set MSYSTEM=MINGW.
msys2_shell.bat set it to MSYS thus making it answer "msys".
