Re: ghc-inplace exiting with "error 1" foolishness

I complained late last week that GHC failed to build because ghc-inplace couldn't do anything more complicated than print its version number.

I tried again on a clean machine, this time remembering to replace Cygwin's sh.exe with bash.exe, and mounting C:\mingw as /mingw and C:\mingw\include as /mingw/mingw32/include.

Yes, stay clear of 'ash' (which sh.exe is) when building ghc. It has 'issues' with quoting and length of command lines. --sigbjorn
