right. that is at least the second time you reminded me of that. the
reasons i
keep forgetting are that the old sof builds still send their daily
failure email,
whereas the buildbot only sends test summaries. could the buildbot send
a daily build summary email (one email for the latest build on all
platforms would do, just the header of the buildbot status table), with
a link to the buildbot pages, please?
Yes, this is on the todo list for the buildbot summary tool I believe.
also, the ghc developer wiki only indirectly refers to buildbot - a
direct link
from that main page to http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/ might help?
Right, I quite agree, the default build/host should be mingw on
Windows. I remember looking into this at some point and concluding
that it wasn't easy for some reason (I forget exactly why). Some
people (like me) have the cygwin tools in their path and use
--with-gcc to specify the path to the mingw gcc.
see my other reply. for safety, users with both cygwin and mingw gcc/ld
should get a warning about inconsistent combinations anyway, if they forget
the --with-gcc/ld and configure can't find the right versions by itself.
Have you tried omitting --with-gcc, when the cygwin gcc is first in your PATH?
configure should detect that gcc points to the wrong kind of compiler and fail.
Cheers,
Simon
