We have been labouring over the last few weeks to get a GHC that
runs on Windows and
does not require you to install anything else
does not intefere with anything else you already have installed
(notably cygwin)
It was a big surprise to me how hard it is to achieve these two
objectives simultaneously on a Windows machine.
We are now (very) nearly there, after many exciting learning
experiences.
We're going to put out a thrill-seekers Win2k release of GHC 5 with
the above properties. "Thrill-seekers" because it'll be the head of
the tree and hence incorporate various things that 5.00.2 doesn't have
but which are slightly less stable.
So I think the simplest thing is to wait a week or two. If you are in
a hurry, install GHC4.08.2, and cygwin, check out the HEAD, and say
'make'.
(Works for me...)

| Hello.
|
| Is there a simple way to get running with ghc over win2k? I
| used the ghc4.08 installer ... but it doesnt like my cygwin.
| I couldnt use it to compile hdirect or upgrade to ghc5. The
| mkdepend script quits with a 'signal 127' message. Any help
| would be most appreciated.
