Thank you! Do let me know when you do this.
Before I fix the documentation the GHC team needs to make a decision -
do you want to support the latest mingw/cygwin, or advise people to use
specific old versions?
I think it's pretty clear we ought to make everything work with the latest
mingw versions.
The old versions work exactly as per the descriptions Claus gave
(although there are a few tweaks required for bootstrapping with GHC
6.8.3). The new version has a number of issues that need fixing:
1) Windres doesn't work.
2) cc1 is in the wrong place, and can't be found.
isn't this just the fact that Cabal needs to pass -B to gcc? Does anyone
know why we're still haven't this problem?
3) one line needed commenting out in the mingw headers.
That's annoying - so anyone downloading the latest mingw will have to tweak
it by hand?
Cheers,
Simon
