#12661: Testsuite driver fails on Windows ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): Yes, though this advice of prefering the mingw packages over the msys ones doesn't just apply for `python`. I've amended the section at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows#Configuri... The way I always do it is to make sure in my profile that `/mingw64/bin` is the first thing on the `$PATH`. I need to make some time to re-evaluate that page, as I am not sure we need any of those msys versions of the tools we're telling people to install. They've bitten us quite a few times already. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12661#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
