You probably think about "configure --prefix=/mingw" but I built dozen of
programs without any problem since MSYS is responsible to translate POSIX
paths to Win equivalents.
In MSYS' fstab I have defined:
c:/mingw /mingw
mount point, and MSYS' shell finds everything. Finally, GHC configure
properly finds all the components, but my build problem is, imho, more
connected to "locating package.conf" thread in glasgow-haskell-bugs archive
from the June '03, I just don't know how to fix it :-(
But, I'll try with --prefix=c:/mingw & --with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc.

Please, be patient with me - I'm new and subscribed to both users & bugs lists,
but dropped the cvs-ghc thinking it is just for CVS commits (it is described as
"GHC/CVS discussion and fptools/ghc CVS commit messages"), while I'm just try
to be GHC user (on Linux - I'm on Gentoo - it also includes to build the
package from the source :-)
