My first attempt to build GHC (on Windows 8) from sources went pretty well until I got to the &quot;make install&quot; step. Some research revealed that at least <a href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2012-November/078353.html">one other person got the same error I did</a> building on Windows. That other person &quot;fixed&quot; the problem by deleting the offending lines from the build scripts.<div>
<br></div><div>I looked around a bit and noticed that pretty much every other place else that <font face="courier new, monospace">removeFiles </font>was referenced, the path was quoted. I added quotes to the paths on the two offending lines and subsequently the &quot;make install&quot; process completed without errors.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m happy to log a bug, submit a patch, etc., but since this would be my first time doing that, I thought I should run it by you folks first. The wiki suggests adding a test case for a bug, but since this is a build error, I suppose that wouldn&#39;t make sense?</div>
