Enjoy.

-------Win32 users only----------------------------------------
NOTE to Win32 users: to enjoy any sort of happiness with the GHC
tools, you will have to install the cygwin toolchain, which dresses
up the Win32 environment into something more UNIX-like (which
this initial port of ghc relies on being the case). The cygwin tools
are available from
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
GHC was built with beta20.1 of the cygwin tools and depends on it
to work.
Install cygwin before continuing. Couple of things to remember
doing while installing these two:
- Create a toplevel /bin directory, and copy bash.exe into it
as sh.exe (we'll need this for running the configure script.)
Add /bin to your PATH.
- Create a toplevel /tmp directory.
Additionally, ghc requires perl to operate, so included in the
binary distribution is a perl binary, (perl.exe in the toplevel
directory.) Install (as in copy :-) this somewhere along your
PATH too (/bin is a good choice.)
This is hardly beatiful, but it avoids having to download and install
yet another package, including piles of (useful) perl libraries that the
ghc perl code does not require to operate. Besides which, there's a
dearth of readily useable perl distributions 'out there' that contain
cygwin-compiled binaries, something we really do depend on.
