I try to build a lite version (e.g. no extra libs) of GHC 6.8.3, I'm using MinGW GCC 4.2.1-2 with dwarf-2 exception and pre-compiled GHC 6.8.3. Here's my configure: sh configure --prefix=/c/ghc-new CFLAGS='-s -O2' LDFLAGS='-s -O2' --with-gmp-includes=/usr/local/gmp/include --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/local/gmp/lib And my make: make bootstrap3 But in the middle, I got this: Preprocessing library hpc-0.5.0.1...

However, this is not the gmp that comes with GHC (version 4.2.1, mine is 4.2.2). PS: I must comment these two lines in IOManager.h: 12: extern void* GetCurrentFiber ( void ); 13: extern void* GetFiberData ( void ); or an error about "static declaration follows non-static declaration" will come up. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Error-building-GHC-6.8.3-with-MinGW-4.2.1-2-dw2-tp1819...
