[Haskell-cafe] Compiling GHC

[Chris Witte]

Awesome that works!
Thanks for your help.

Well that works for the ghc-6.7.20070402 tar ball but if I try and
pull down the darcs head it fails to make with

make[1]: Entering directory `/c/cwitte/source/ghc/libraries'
rm -f -f stamp/configure.library.*.base
cd base && setup/Setup configure \
                      \
                     --prefix=/usr/local \
                     --with-compiler=../../compiler/ghc-inplace.bat \
                     --with-hc-pkg=../../utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg-inplace.bat \
                     --with-hsc2hs=../../utils/hsc2hs/hsc2hs-inplace.bat \
                     --with-ld=/mingw/bin/ld \
                     --datasubdir=ghc \
                     --haddock-args="--use-contents=../index.html
--use-index=../doc-index.html" \
                     --configure-option=--with-cc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc.exe
The system cannot find the path specified.
make[1]: *** [stamp/configure.library.build.base] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/cwitte/source/ghc/libraries'
make: *** [stage1] Error 2

I wonder what has changed between then and now to cause this.
