Lies, all lies :-) To install GHC you double click on the installer. That's all. No cygwin, no mingw, nothing.
I think the point is that the original poster does not have Windows, therefore double clicking on the installer will not help. :-) He has a Linux machine, and is trying to cross-compile for a Windows target machine. Thus, he needs to persuade his (Linux) GHC to use the mingw GCC cross-compiler as a back-end, the goal being to end up effectively with his GHC as a cross-compiler. A great (if brave) idea, I think you'll agree. Regards, Malcolm
