Comment (by refold):
I was able to succesfully compile
[http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.12/ghc/driver/ghci/ghci.c ghci.c] with gcc
on XP:
{{{
$ gcc ghci.c -o ghci.exe
$ ./ghci.exe
WARNING: GHCi invoked via 'ghci.exe' in *nix-like shells (cygwin-bash, in
partic
ular)
doesn't handle Ctrl-C well; use the 'ghcii.sh' shell wrapper
instead
GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done.
}}}
I think that `ghciwrap.c` is the old name for `ghci.c` and the comment
just wasn't updated.
Try commenting out this part:
{{{
/* Turn the path into short form - LFN form causes problems
when passed in argv[0]. */
if ( !(GetShortPathName(binPath, binPathShort, dwSize)) ) {
errmsg1("%s: Unable to locate ghc.exe", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
}}}
and see what happens.
