#14312: Head does not build on Windows with the default make config. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasK | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D4080 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): OK, this is a problem, the real issue here if `capi`. In a foreign import such as `foreign import capi unsafe "HsBase.h tcsetattr"` the header can be a local or a system include. Which leaves is how to generate the includes. We'd need to use quoted paths to get local headers in the same folder, but then we won't be able to use system headers, however I don't see a way around it without a backwards incompatible change... @bgamari, what do you think. Is the cost worth the change here? Keep in mind this isn't Windows specific. You should get the same error on any system. Directory has been updated so we can just update the submodule to fix it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14312#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
