Re: Resolving Windows 64-bit linker issues

[Tamar Christina]

Hi Darren,


I don’t actually know what the status of these issues are. I think one of the tasks we had set out to do was actually checking on these tickets and their progress.


Gintautas was doing most of the mingw64 build stuff. I don’t know if the cygwin64 link stuff has been looked at by anyone since I think we’re all mostly using mingw64.


I have two issues I’m working on atm, both related to the RTS. But if there’s anything I can do to help then just let me know.


Cheers,

Tamar

To expand on that (let's see if I can do this without accidentally sending again, oops!):

Roman, I will get in touch with you on a separate email thread to see if we can find an optimal way to coordinate, something that satisfies our schedules and needs. Others please feel free to bug me any time by email (dedgrant at gmail.com) or on freenode #ghc as dedgrant, PST hours.

In the meantime I'll be auditing some of the related backlogged tickets on trac. If there's something I can do to help further the goal of a Windows Task Force page, please let me know.


Pleased to meet everyone!

Cheers,
Darren

Resending, since Roman's and Kyril's email addresses were mangled/missing.
