Thanks. But it's a bit inefficient to debug by email. For now I've simply switched off the sphinx stuff in my build.mk. Might you work it through when you have access to a machine, and document the result?
If the desired sequence is to * get pip * use pip to get sphinx then could the docs on https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows be update to say precisely that? Someone went to some trouble to make that page short and easy, and perhaps there is a more direct route. I'm not sure.
