Hallo!

I just run "ghc -c -v Main.hs 2>&1| tee withMount.log" while c: was mou=
nted at=20
/ and "ghc -c -v Main.hs 2>&1| tee withoutMount.log" after unmounting i=
t.
I attached both Files.
because cygwin complains about a missing /tmp after mounting c: to / I =
have a=20
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=20
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, M=
AKE_MODE=20
and TMPDIR, restarted cygwin, created /tmp, installed ghc-4.08.2 at=20
c:\ghc\ghc-4.08.2, added it to PATH, restarted cygwin and went to my co=
de=20
directory. The rest is described above.

So until the next problem,
Andreas

I'm puzzled by this. Could you please send some sample output? Preferab=
ly
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 temporar=
y
directory). Now it's mostly for convenience.

I think it used to be necessary, and I kept it in the instructions part=
ly
because I find it useful to be able to refer to the drive with Unix-sty=
le
paths, with the root directory being /, and partly because it worked, a=
nd
the less I change the instructions, the less likely I am to break somet=
hing.
