#9932: GHC fails to build when cross compiling for mingw with the message "Threads not supported" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Kritzefitz | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Cross | compiling Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9524 | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * related: 9542 => #9524 Old description:

I'm trying to build a mingw32 cross compiler. I configured with `./configure --target=x86_64-x64-mingw32`, then I built with `make -j 1`. The build then fails with the message ` # error "Threads not supported"` followed by some other errors. (The last part of the make log is attached)

To bypass #9542, I deleted the following lines from utils/hsc2hs/Main.hs:

{{{ #if defined(__GLASGOW_HASKELL__) && !defined(BUILD_NHC) #include "../../includes/ghcconfig.h" #endif }}}
