I'm having trouble setting up GHC on Win32.
I can install the cygwin B20 software and run it. As soon as I run it it
complains that -
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
BASH.EXE-2.02$
If I try to make the /tmp directory by typing "mkdir -p /tmp" or "mkdir
/tmp" I get the error -
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mkdir /tmp
mkdir: cannot make directory `/tmp': No such file or directory
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mkdir -p /tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp': No such file or directory
BASH.EXE-2.02$
What am I doing wrong?
The cygwin software is installed to h:\cygwin
ghc is installed to h:\ghc
I'm running Windows 95
Nothing else wants to run without the /tmp directory set up (perl and the
configure scripts both complain about the /tmp directory).
I'm running ghc under Linux with no hassles, but I need to compile a
Haskell program for Win32, and thought that setting up ghc for Win32 would
be the best way to do this.
Actually it would be really good to be able to compile my Haskell code to
some intermediate language that I could compile anywhere. For example
compile to C under Linux, and then use the gcc compiler on any UNIX box to
make a useable binary - is there a way to do this? I can't get the .hc
code output of the ghc compiler to compile with gcc, is there a way to do
something like this?
Thanks in advance,
