#5489: Win7: Bootstrapping 7.3 from 7.2.1 using msys git 1.7.6 causes
integer-gmp
./configure to fail
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: btutt | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Documentation
Version: 7.3 | Keywords:
Testcase: | Blockedby:
Os: Windows | Blocking:
Architecture: x86 | Failure: Building GHC failed
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Following the getting started instructions and the approximate suggested
path for my .profile.
I ended up with flex.exe being found in the Git installation directory.
My work around was to:
uninstall msys
Install MinGW/MSys from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer
/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110530/
DO NOT download the latest catalogues. They've uploaded a gcc-4.6.x
compiler so beware. I didn't bother trying so beware. :)
Path to set in .profile so that flex gets picked up:
/c/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin:/c/MinGW/bin:<....>
This allowed the integer-gmp ./configure to succeed.
