    Hi   How can I compile GHC from sources under Windows? I tried to compile ghc-5.02.1 and ghc-5.02.2 under cygwin but the compilation failed. First the configure program locates the installed Cygwin's ReadLine package and then then Makefile searches for the ReadLine library from the Haskell's Utils package. When I remove ReadLine from Cygwin, compilation continues. Second trouble is related to hsc2hs. After Hsc2Hs generates C program (for example tst.c) it tries to run it with ./tst. Under Windows this failed because backslash is treated as option delimiter. After that Hsc2Hs tries to remove "tst" file instead of "tst.exe". At the end compilation of linker.c also failsKrasimir
