#9513: Building GHC on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: srutownik | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build | Version: 7.8.3 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Building | Related Tickets: GHC failed | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): {{{ checking for a BSD-compatible install... ../install-sh -c }}} This appears to be the problem. The `install-sh` detected by configure needs to be an absolute path so that it can be invoked by sub-Makefiles. Do you have `..` in your PATH? Looks like that could cause this. (Though I am just judging from what happens on Linux; I have no familiarity with Windows.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9513#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
