> {another candidate for the ghc faq?-} 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 stem from trying to use pathnames that have special meaning to cygwin tools. GHC is not built with cygwin (at least not by default) so there's no special pathname processing going on except that '/' is accepted instead of '\', IIRC. I don't think you have to install cygwin in C:\. At least, my installation is under C:\cygwin, and I'm pretty sure it worked to build GHC last time I tried.
