Hallo!
I just run "ghc -c -v Main.hs 21| tee withMount.log" while c: was mounted at
/ and "ghc -c -v Main.hs 21| tee withoutMount.log" after unmounting it.
I attached both Files.
because cygwin complains about a missing /tmp after mounting c: to / I have a
c:\tmp directory but ghc uses c:\Temp.
I think you should drop the mount c: at / because it is sure a problem you run
into when installing ghc.
I used a fresh WinNT (service pack 5 and inernet explorer 5 installed)
installed cygwinat c:\cygwin, mounted c: to /, set PATH, SHELL, HOME, MAKE_MODE
and TMPDIR, restarted cygwin, created /tmp, installed ghc-4.08.2 at
c:\ghc\ghc-4.08.2, added it to PATH, restarted cygwin and went to my code
directory. The rest is described above.
So until the next problem,
Andreas

Thema: Re: Problems when mounting c: to /
When installing ghc-4.08.2 (onWinNT) as described in the installation
instructions under c:, I couldn't get ghc to run.
It invoked the C-preprozessor and stoped after cleaning.
I'm puzzled by this. Could you please send some sample output? Preferably
running ghc -v.
When I unmount c:, it works fine. (If I install cygwin and dont mount c: to /
it works fine too.)
But now //c/ is the normal win-root. That's not a problem for me, but how
about
ghc?
Well, if it works, I suppose it's not a problem...
Does it depend in any way on c: mounted to /?
I'm not sure. I think it used to (because of using /tmp as the temporary
directory). Now it's mostly for convenience.
If not why do you want this mount (in the installation instructions section
2.2.2.1)?
I think it used to be necessary, and I kept it in the instructions partly
because I find it useful to be able to refer to the drive with Unix-style
paths, with the root directory being /, and partly because it worked, and
the less I change the instructions, the less likely I am to break something.
