how to peform a 'make install' in a windows + cygwin + ghc environment?

[Mauro La Salete Costa Lima de Araujo]

Hi folks,

I would like to know what I have to do if I wanna have a ghc, built by
myself, avaliable to my shell environment, so I can invoke it as normal
('ghc' :P).
I've built the fptools according the instructions at
'http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/winbuild.html' and
did a 'make install' under the fptools/ghc directory. But when I invoke
the ghc, I get the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ghc
ghc.exe: Can't find package.conf as
C:\haskell\cygwin\usr\local\ghc\driver\package.conf.inplace
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what does it means? what I have to do to use my own copy of ghc instead of
the '.msi' one?

Cheers,
