#13400: realgcc.exe do not run GHCi in Windows in a particular case -----------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by Phyx-): * status: upstream => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: It seems that the `GCC` in `GHC 8.0.1` and `GHC 8.0.2` were built on a path `D:\develop`. This path ended up being hard coded into the binary and it's checked when compiling things. This results in the following access: [[Image(https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1177385/23966480/683f0300-09b3-11... -8c6e-e1003d53402d.png)]] Because of this, you guys with `D:\` mapped to a removable drive get the dialog. This is a bit out of our control. But it seems that the `GCC` that will be used for the upcoming `GHC 8.2` release uses `C:\building`. Since in 99% of the cases everyone has a fixed drive on `C:\` if it's available, then it should work. So for now, I can recommend a workaround of changing the removable storage from `D:\` to something else, or wait for `GHC 8.2.1`. This is about as fixed as it's going to get. We'll try to keep an eye out in the future for what the build directory is. But we don't build `GCC`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13400#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
