#8283: utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py doesn't work on Windows -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Build | Version: 7.7 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Windows | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Type of failure: Other | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by leroux): * priority: normal => low * failure: None/Unknown => Other Comment: Just a few clarifications... The main problem is that shebangs won't work correctly under mingw by default since scripts usually invoke things like {{{#!/usr/bin/perl}}} whereas perl is actually located at {{{/mingw/msys/1.0/usr/bin/perl}}} or something similar. This can actually be remedied by making sure the mingw shell is mounting the correct directories with it's {{{/etc/fstab}}}...which is how it should be. For example, {{{mount}}} should output: {{{ /c/mingw /mingw /mingw/msys/1.0 / /mingw/msys/1.0 /usr }}} or something similar. An alternate solution to this is to maintain a Windows frequented problems/solutions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8283#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
