Unable to build a mingw cross compiler.

Greetings, I'm trying to build GHC to cross compile to windows. GCC and friends are in /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-*, libraries and headers are in /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/{include,lib}. I configured with: ./configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \ --with-gcc=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc # Needed because # otherwise /usr/bin/gcc # would be used Building fails with the following error: utils/hsc2hs/dist/build/Main.o: In function `s2nI_info': (.text+0x5c5): undefined reference to `GetModuleFileNameW' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status (The GHC invocation line is included in the attached file) So it seems that GHC either uses the wrong linker or invokes it with the wrong search path. However, the configure script detects the right linker (/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32). Is this a bug, or a feature? System data: OS: Debian jessie Linux/GNU i386 Installed GHC (for bootstrapping): version 7.6.3 GHC I'm trying to build: version 7.8.3 Regards Sven

Did you find a solution to this?

Greetings,
I'm trying to build GHC to cross compile to windows. GCC and friends are in /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-*, libraries and headers are in /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/{include,lib}.
I configured with: ./configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \ --with-gcc=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc # Needed because # otherwise /usr/bin/gcc # would be used
Building fails with the following error: utils/hsc2hs/dist/build/Main.o: In function `s2nI_info': (.text+0x5c5): undefined reference to `GetModuleFileNameW' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
(The GHC invocation line is included in the attached file)
So it seems that GHC either uses the wrong linker or invokes it with the wrong search path. However, the configure script detects the right linker (/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32).
Is this a bug, or a feature?
