Hi Simon. If it's still a problem in approx one month I'll look into fixing it then as I feel that there may be areas of commonality with the nightly build bindist packaging for Windows - notably the way the MinGW32 C compiler is dealt with (or even at all with "make install" I suppose).
Cheers Mike Thomas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Peyton-Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Michael Adams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "GHC bugs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 6:19 PM Subject: RE: GHC and Mingw32 (cont.) I'm redirecting this to ghc bugs and cvs-ghc. The conclusion is that 'make install' on Win32 is currently broken. (Mostly people install from the .msi installer, which is why it's not much exercised.) I doubt it's really hard, just ticklish. Does any Win32 expert feel like fixing it? We'd be happy to help.
