Yes, it should be possible to go this route.
You're building a stage 1 compiler that is a mingw binary, producing
cygwin
executables, i.e. host=mingw, target=cygwin. The configure script
doesn't
understand cross-compilation, but you should be able to edit
mk/config.mk after
configuration to set up the right host/target values, and then build
away. I'm
sure you'll have to fix a few things along the way - this isn't
something we
test on a regular basis (in fact, ever).
I accidently only replied to you on the first message Simon, so please
forgive the duplicate.
Prior to even posting to the list, I followed the instructions outlined in
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html#unregisterised-porting
<http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html#unregisterised-porting>
The issue is that the dependency check wants the compiling ghc (mingw)
to have the "unix" package. This is what I can't see how to get around.
Insights appreciated.
The Makefile in compiler/ says this:
# We need System.Posix (or Posix when ghc < 6.2)
ifeq "$(TARGETPLATFORM)" "i386-unknown-mingw32"
ifeq "$(bootstrapped)" "YES"
SRC_HC_OPTS += -package Win32
PKG_DEPENDS += Win32
endif
else
ifeq "$(bootstrapped) $(ghc_ge_601)" "NO NO"
SRC_HC_OPTS += -package posix
else
SRC_HC_OPTS += -package unix
PKG_DEPENDS += unix
endif
endif
That TARGETPLATFORM should be HOSTPLATFORM. Then if you have HOSTPLATFORM set
to mingw and TARGETPLATFORM set to cygwin, you should be fine. I'm sure there
will be other parts of the build system that are similarly broken, please send
us a patch if you can.
Cheers,
Simon
