[Template-haskell] Building in Cygwin with Mingw gcc

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

I'm sorry you're having trouble.  It looks as if you may not be
following the instructions in the Building Guide.  I believe that if you
ruthlessly do what it says, it'll work. =20

http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/winbuild.html

You don't give a lot of evidence in your message, but the instructions
say nothing about a "--build" flag to "configure".  I'm not sure what it
does and I have no confidence that it'll work. =20

I'm not sure how you "tried to build the CVS head in Cygwin, using both
gcc 2.95
and gcc 3.1 and both a Cygwin and a Mingw version of the compiler".  The
instructions don't say anything about that either.

Give it a try as described, and see if that helps.  You might want to
start from a fresh tree.=20
