[Haskell-cafe] Re: Compilling GHC on Vista

There isn't a solution for the getPermissions issue; the bug is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1280.

Monique: can you post the relevant section of config.log from your failed configure run?

Cheers, Simon

For backward compatibility reasons, I'm using GHC 6.2.2. So, if there is already a solution for this issue in the GHC repository, please let me know how to add it manually.

I don't have problems with ./configure on Windows XP.

I still get the same message even with these instructions. I guess it may be due to some Vista security checking...

Do you still get the same error message in your config.log now? Or a different one? There is also an error on Vista with checking whether a file is executable. I don't know whether there's already a solution for that in the repository?

Do make sure that MingW's bin/ and libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/ are

very first two in your path. I get the same error message if I don't do that.

Hi Tom - would you mind adding the right incantation to the Vista instructions at the top of http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows?
