#1502: GHC should integrate better with mingw
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: eivuokko | Owner:
Type: feature request | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.6.1
Severity: normal | Keywords: windows
Difficulty: Unknown | Os: Unknown
Testcase: | Architecture: Unknown
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
When developing in Windows, it is very common to require many more tools
than what's available with GHC. I have myself used
* strip
* nm
* reimp
* dlltool
* pexport
* windres
Also, when installing libraries/headers for mingw/msys and are going to
use them with GHC, the only way to get them linked is to copy them to GHC
installation as well. So, I'd really like if I could tell GHC via flag or
preferably via configuration file. But GHC would probably need to
organize the includes and archives differently than it does now.
Configuring via files would also allow Cabal to make use of these tools
without much extra fiddling.
