GHC and ghc-pkg make some pretty hard assumptions about where they're running on Windows. They assume that they are always running from `foo/bin/ghc.exe` and that to find the `lib` folder they can drop `bin/ghc.exe` from the base path and append `lib`. This is already false for the testsuite, which when testing thenbindist has one test which puts the binaries in `inplace/test spaces`. For some reason before this was either being skipped or mysteriously passing. But as of `2017.02.11` our luck ran out. the testsuite triggers a failure such as those in #13310 Let's soften the assumption and just check that `../lib` exists instead. 80 chars Test Plan: ./validate Reviewers: austin, erikd, bgamari Reviewed By: bgamari Subscribers: thomie, #ghc_windows_task_force Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3158 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13301#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
