#9685: GHC fails to build with mingw32-make on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: gintas Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Difficulty: Unknown | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It would be nice to be able to build ghc on Windows with mingw32-make which is bundled with the prebuilt gcc package that we are using for the ghc build. mingw32-make might be faster (due to less overhead associated with POSIX compatibility, forks etc.) and more reliable - msys2's make is a bit glitchy because it needs to fork off a lot of processes and sometimes runs into issues with fork(), which should not be a problem for mingw32-make. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9685 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
