Hi,

I'm tying to compile GHC under mingw (winxp with mingw no cygwin), everything appears to go OK but when I run make install it fails to copy some files
[snip copy errors on make install]
Loading package base ... linking ... ghc.exe: unable to load package `base' ghc.exe: C:/msys/1.0/local/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_gettimeofday'
any ideas on what could be causing this.
My guess is that your mingw version is diffrent from the one makefile assumes. Atleast that problem I have had in past - using diffrent mingw than ghc/mingw maintainer. You can check this by running in-place scripts and checking if ghci works that way. You could also try copying neccesary stuff from existing ghc installation - but that might cause even more wierd errors. HTH, Esa Ilari Vuokko
