Hallo!
I just run "ghc -c -v Main.hs 2>&1| tee withMount.log" while c: was mounted at
/ and "ghc -c -v Main.hs 2>&1| 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

I'm puzzled by this. Could you please send some sample output? Preferably
running ghc -v.

Well, if it works, I suppose it's not a problem...

I'm not sure. I think it used to (because of using /tmp as the temporary
directory). Now it's mostly for convenience.

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.
