I've updated the instructions on win32 building, but they havn't
got to the web site yet.
You have to say
./configure --host=i386-unknown-mingw32 --with-gcc=/mingw/bin/gcc
Without this, things go badly arwy.
For the --with-gcc part you need to install a mingwin bundle from
http://www.mingw.org

| Subject: GHC on Win32 strangeness
|
|
| Hi!
|
| Bryn is trying to compile C->Haskell with
| GHC on Win32, but ran into some problems. Firstly,
| configure says,
|
| $ ./configure
| loading cache ./config.cache
| checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
| checking target system type... i686-pc-cygwin
| checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin
| checking for Cygwin environment... (cached) no
| checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
| [..]
|
| So, it says no Cygwin, but identifies the system as
| i686-pc-cygwin. AFAIK, GHC uses mingw32 these days, doesn't
| it? How can this be reliably tested for? (To exclude
| -package posix on that platform.)
|
| Secondly, are there any issues with symlinks? I append a
| sequence of commands that seems to indicate that GHC doesn't
| find a file, because it is symlinked.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Cheers,
| Manuel

|
| Administrator@BRK ~/hipar/build/ghc5/base/admin
| $ file BaseVersion.hs
| BaseVersion.hs: symbolic link to ../../../../base/admin/BaseVersion.hs
|
| So, change it to an absolute:
|
| Administrator@BRK ~/hipar/build/ghc5/base/admin
| $ ln -s /home/hipar/base/admin/BaseVersion.hs BaseVersion.hs
|
| Administrator@BRK ~/hipar/build/ghc5/base/admin
| $ ls
| BaseVersion.hs Common.hs Config.hs Makefile
|
| Administrator@BRK ~/hipar/build/ghc5/base/admin
| $ file BaseVersion.hs
| BaseVersion.hs: symbolic link to /home/hipar/base/admin/BaseVersion.hs
|
| The build fails the same way, copy the command line and
| restrict it to just the file we changed, to be sure:
|
| Administrator@BRK ~/hipar/build/ghc5/base
| $ ghc -M -syslib lang -optdep-f -optdep.depend -iadmin
| -ierrors -igeneral -igra phs -istate -isyms -isyntax -isysdep
| admin/BaseVersion.hs
| ghc.exe: file `admin/BaseVersion.hs' does not exist
