perhaps the most recent non-cabalized ghc build might be worth a try. I think darcs still compiles with ghc 6.6, but am not positive.,
Mingw-bootstrap, source, or both?
remember ghc working on cygwin at some point. I have been in a similar position in the past actually in the odd place of developing linux/unix software while sitting at a windows box, and cygwin builds of tools were more useful in general.
I'm just planning on keeping the good bits of the *nix toolchain while switching to another OS from Linux (or *BSD) that keeps burying those pieces under layers upon layers of stinking and unreliable gnomeshit, and that suffers from de facto central control over software distribution. The only choice is Windows, because Apple is just too steve-jobs-knows-what-you-want, although would otherwise offer a better *nix environment. -- "[Fashion] is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." -- Oscar Wilde "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion." -- RMS
