#10726: Upgrade MingW-w64 distributions for windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Phyx- Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9218 #9014 | Differential Revisions: Phab:D1123 #10435 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by awson): Could we, perhaps, use Msys2 builds for this? They are of a high quality and pretty well supported. Also they have gcc-5.2 and, most important, recently released binutils-2.25.1 which have a very important bug (wrong linking of 64-bit import libraries generated by MS linker) fixed. As of today the transitive closure of packages required is (I believe) this: {{{ mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-winpthreads-git-5.0.0.4538.78dca70-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-headers-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-libwinpthread-git-5.0.0.4538.78dca70-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib-1.2.8-8 mingw-w64-x86_64-isl-0.14.1-2 mingw-w64-x86_64-mpc-1.0.3-2 mingw-w64-x86_64-mpfr-3.1.3.p0-2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gmp-6.0.0-3 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libs-5.2.0-3 mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils-2.25.1-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-libiconv-1.14-5 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-5.2.0-3 }}} The new repo of Msys2 packages is http://repo.msys2.org/mingw. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10726#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
