Target platform is 32-bit windows. Here is what I do: 1. pull docker image[1]: `docker pull gregweber/ghc-haskell-dev` 2. install gcc-mingw-w64-i686: `apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686` 3. download ghc source and switch to tag ghc-8.4.1-release 4. run `./boot` 5. `CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc ./configure --target=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-unregisterised` 6. `cp mk/build.mk.sample mk/build.mk` 7. uncomment the line: `BuildFlavour = quick-cross-ncg` 8. run `make` Error message: {{{ Configuring ghc-pkg-6.9...
