[Vhs-ufpe] problems building GHC from source in Windows

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

[redirecting to ghc-bugs]

I have seen this before.  Things are going wrong when you use the newly
built compiler to compile the run-time system.  (This is the first RTS
file it compiles, right?)

Trouble is, I can't remember what was wrong.   I hope you configured
with --with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc
as specified?    Is this a completely clean build, starting with
autoreconf, in a tree with no old files lying around in it?  (If not,
start a completely fresh tree -- I do have a vague memory that make
clean didn't make clean enough...)

| Hi Andre,
| 
| are you sure you have a ../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace file/compiler?
| You need to have compiled the "ghc/compiler" directory to have that.
| 
| If you are only building a different rts you should have used
| "make HC=your-ghc-compiler" otherwise it will try to use
| the inplace one (which is the usual/standard behaviour).

| Andre.
