A Cygwin port of hmake?

[Antony Courtney]

Hi,

Has anyone attempted / considered porting hmake to Cygwin?

I'd like to try HaXmL under ghc on Windows, but it seems to require 
hmake to build.

I made a naieve attempt to configure and build hmake under Cygwin 
myself, but the resulting Makefile tried to pass Cygwin-style 
/cygdrive/c/... paths to ghc, which promptly choked.  I made some 
abortive attempts to hand-edit the Makefile.inc, but it then attempted 
to create some directories above my current working directory, and I 
eventually got lost trying to trace down the nested Makefile inclusions.

Before I invest more time in either porting hmake or writing a portable 
Makefile for HaXmL, I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else had 
already been down this road.  If you have, please get in touch.

Thanks,

	-antony
