Yes, with these steps and also later with the correction from Kyle Van
Berendonck (

compiles on Windows too.
Thanks, Nicu

Please update your GHC repository tree, then run:
./sync-all get
There was a bug I fixed today where 'msys' wasn't correctly detected
as Windows, so it skipped the ghc-tarballs repository.
Then make sure you do './sync-all pull' to update everything else
(there were other changes that require syncing.)
Hopefully that helps.

Hi all,
I'm new to GHC Dev and I'm trying to build GHC 7.7 (the repo is
about 9 days old) on a Windows machine with mingw32. I followed
the very helpful article for newcomers to GHC dev (
http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers# ) and up to
configure it was easy.
Now I get a problem with configure, the last few output lines are:
GHC build : i386-unknown-mingw32
GHC host : i386-unknown-mingw32
GHC target : i386-unknown-mingw32
configure: Building in-tree ghc-pwd
checking for path to top of build tree... j:/ghc
checking for gcc... j:/ghc/inplace/mingw/bin/gcc.exe
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/j/ghc':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
From config.log it's clear that j:/ghc/inplace/mingw/bin/gcc.exe
is missing (actually already the bin is missing). My gcc is in
/mingw/bin, which is in PATH, but even if I try with the option
--with-gcc=/mingw/bin/gcc
I get the same error.
So I was looking in the configure script and found out that, for
mingw32 and i386, gcc must be under $hardtop/inplace/mingw/bin/,
and if not, there are commands to unpack all tools from tar files
like ghc-tarballs/mingw/binutils*.tar.lzma and a few others.
The point is, I don't have the subdirectory ghc-tarballs under my
ghc directory.
Now, my questions:
1. Are there any reasons to not use the building tools coming from
the mingw installation, and use the dedicated ones?
2. Where could I find those tarballs? Did I miss something when
updated the repositories?
Thanks,
Nicu
