Yes, this is a bug, it looks like the Windows code bitrotted. Could you go ahead and fix them (looks straightforward) and post your patch? Thanks, Edward Excerpts from Páli Gábor János's message of 2014-08-29 17:17:47 +0100:

Hi Edward,

Duncan has landed his changes to remove GHC's dep on Cabal, so you'll need to do a clean and full rebuild once you pull from master.

Do you know if this is related:

[..] libraries\bin-package-db\GHC\PackageDb.hs:264:11: Not in scope: `catchIO' Perhaps you meant one of these: `catch' (imported from Control.Exception), `catches' (imported from Control.Exception) libraries\bin-package-db\GHC\PackageDb.hs:269:34: Not in scope: `newFile' libraries\bin-package-db\GHC\PackageDb.hs:272:20: Not in scope: `throwIOIO' Perhaps you meant `throwIO' (imported from Control.Exception) libraries/bin-package-db/ghc.mk:3: recipe for target 'libraries/bin-package-db/dist-boot/build/GHC/PackageDb.o' failed make[1]: *** [libraries/bin-package-db/dist-boot/build/GHC/PackageDb.o] Error 1 Makefile:71: recipe for target 'all' failed

For more information, please see my recent build attempt on Windows/x86_64 [1].
