All this is likely trivial to fix but at the same time these little roadblocks may also explain why few developers on Windows contribute code to GHC and Haskell.
I haven't tried sync-all on Windows - can anyone help out here?
It works fine, but be mindful of how 'git' handles crlf translations on Windows. Having run into this a couple of times, it certainly looks the likely cause. Felix may want to try cloning as follows:
foo$ git config --global core.autocrlf false foo$ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git
I added a note about this to the wiki, could someone who actually understands what's going on check what I've written and edit if necessary: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#Gettinga... Cheers, Simon
