> Hadrian, a new build system for GHC that I've been developing [3], is written
> in Haskell and can therefore be built and run via Stack that can install
> appropriate bootstrapping GHC and MSYS2 environment in an automated and
> robust way. This was first pointed out by Neil Mitchell [4], and I've
> recently simplified build instructions even further. Here are all the steps:
>
> git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git
> cd ghc
> git clone git://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian
> cd hadrian
> stack setup
> stack exec -- pacman -S autoconf automake-wrapper make patch tar --noconfirm
> stack build
> stack exec hadrian -- --directory ".." -j --flavour=quickest
>
> See more details here:
> https://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian/blob/master/doc/windows.md.
>
> NB: Hadrian can build Stage2 GHC, but there are still many limitations [5].
> Help make it better!
