This might seem like a strange thing to do, but ...
Presume I have a HaskellObj in some C code. I know that it is a thunk.
I want to force it to _WHNF_ .
Should/can I use rts_eval()?
Any pointers on what this does (start new threads, cause
garbage collection
...) would be
Hi, today I installed cygwin and downloaded the GHC source, however
during compilation I get the errors:

In addition,I get many Error [127] (ignored) and Error [1] (ignored)

By all means - or possibly the section of the Building Guide devoted to
Win32 builds. Would anyone like to write a concise description of the
filename issues on Windows/cygwin/GHC for the docs?
I'm certainly not an expert here, but I believe the problems

Using ghc-5.04.2 under cygwin, and cygwin (v. 1.3.10-1), I'm having some
horrible problems with inconistent treatment of filenames, especially
when using (gnu, cygwin) make. In a nutshell, make seems to be passing
paths such as /usr/local/hmake (etc) to ghc, which is, as I

Yes.
Any pointers on what this does (start new threads, cause garbage

more
high level description would be helpful.
rts_eval() may cause garbage collection to happen. This means
Thanks to all for the replies; Hal's resolution rings a bell, now that
I think about it, from Ye Olde Days when cygwin was a ghc pre-req -- just
didn't think of it when installing more recently on a new machine. (Install
