#9218: Upgrade the version of MinGW shipped with GHC ---------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: komadori | Owner: komadori Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #3390 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by komadori): The MinGW binaries used by the GHC build are stored in a git repository (http://git.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs.git/tree). Note that the ia32 binaries use the original MinGW and the amd64 binaries use the MinGW-w64 fork. kyra suggests (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc- devs/2014-June/005172.html) switching to use MinGW-w64 for both platforms, but this apparently requires some patches to GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9218#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
