Windows build failure

Hi
I've now got a build of GHC, and a binary distribution. The compilation
succeeded after the hacks detailed in the previous message.
There are now two issues:
* runhaskell isn't in ghc/bin - but runghc is. I guess something forgot
to get copied or created. This issue is very minor to me, but will be of
great significance if it was missing in a release.
* The ghc API package hasn't been installed. "ghc-pkg list" gives:
C:\Neil\haddock>ghc-pkg list
C:/ghc/ghc-6.9.20080905\package.conf:
Cabal-1.5.4, Win32-2.1, array-0.1, base-3.0.3.0, base-4.0,
bytestring-0.9, containers-0.1, directory-1.0, filepath-1.1,
ghc-prim-0.1, {haddock-2.2.2}, haskell98-1.0.1, hpc-0.5,
integer-0.1, old-locale-1.0, old-time-1.0, packedstring-0.1,
pretty-1.0, process-1.0.1, random-1.0, rts-1.0, syb-0.1,
template-haskell-2.2
My aim of building GHC was to run haddock (and eventually hoogle), so
not having the ghc library available is a problem. Does something have
to be configured to get the library? Is it hiding somewhere, just not
exposed? How did haddock-2.2.2 get installed and compiled without a ghc
library?
Thanks
Neil

Hi,
I worked around the first problem, lacking cc1, by following the
instructions here: http://www.nabble.com/cc1-not-found-td9742088.html -
adding c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5 to the $PATH. Then I get a
shorter error:

An example of the first error:
_CRTIMP unsigned int __cdecl __MINGW_NOTHROW _controlfp (unsigned int
unNew, unsigned int unMask);
And all the error lines seem to have _MINGW_NOTHROW just before the
syntax error. I therefore added:
#define __MINGW_NOTHROW
To the mingw\include\float.h header - which is clearly not a good idea
to do in general, but may hack it enough until a build expert can give
me the right fix.
The next error I got was:

make: *** [stage1] Error 2
So I added c:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5 to the $PATH, where I found a
copy of crtbegin.o. That didn't work. So I then copied crtbegin.o and
crtend.o into c:\mingw\lib. That seemed to be enough to get past hpc,
but again is just a short-term hack.
My build is still going, and I'll report back once it either fails or
succeeds. However, a general fix does need to be developed for the two
issues above. Adding cc1 to the path can probably go in as an
instruction for setting up the build environment.
It would be incredibly useful if someone wrote a windows-build.sh
command that automated as many steps as possible in the list Claus made,
and checked for all the others - i.e. checking darcs is on the path,
checking appropriate versions where possible, checking mingw gcc is
first etc. If no one else does, I probably will when I install Windows
on my home machine.
Thanks
Neil

Subject: Windows build failure
Hi,
I've just tried building GHC HEAD using GHC 6.8.3 on Windows following
the instructions on the wiki
(http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows)
I initially got a failure about cc1 not being found when executing
6.8.3's gcc, which I worked around by adding c:/ghc/ghc-6.8.3/gcc-lib at
the end of the path (i.e. last priority)
After this error I get a problem with include files, see the attached
log file. It looks like include files are going wrong between Mingw and
6.8.3. My current $PATH variable is:
