Hi again, please forget that about the crashing hsc. I've reinstalled ghc-4.045 (it still calls itself 4.05) and it works as good as before. Now I've deleted everthing else, checked out the current cvs tree, made the shallow tree current/, did autoconf and ./configure in /current/ghc and the same in current/. Now I typed make boot (still cygwin make) and got the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==fptools== make boot --unix --no-print-directory -r; in /ghc/current/ghc/rts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ if [ ! -f gmp/configure ] ; then ( cd gmp && autoconf ); fi; if [ ! -f gmp/mpn/configure ] ; then ( cd gmp/mpn && autoconf ); fi; if [ ! -f gmp/mpz/configure ] ; then ( cd gmp/mpz && autoconf ); fi; if [ ! -f gmp/mpz/tests/configure ] ; then ( cd gmp/mpz/tests && autoconf ); fi; cd gmp && ./configure --host=i386-unknown-cygwin32 ./configure: 4: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") make[2]: *** [boot] Error 2 make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make: *** [boot] Error 1 which is obviously at the same place where this other error about gmp was. The lines 4 to 6 in current/ghc/rts/gmp/configure are AC_INIT(Makefile.in) AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(mpn mpz) which don't look too bad. I'm stuck again. Any advice appreciated, and yes, I'm using autoconf 2.13 with a patch from Sven Panne. Axel.
