不使用mingw-get将mingwrt安装到haskell-platform中

Question

haskell-platform (2014.2.0.0)发布了MingGW，但没有使用mingw-get。但是，要编译haskell的setlocale绑定，我需要locale.h，它是mingwrt的一部分。

在通常的mingw安装中，我会使用mingw-get来安装mingwrt，但是因为它没有包含在haskell-platform中，所以无法开箱即用。

没有mingw-get的情况下安装mingwrt的通常方式是什么？

Answer 1

安装MSYS^1

Download version 1.0.11 of MSYS. You'll need the following files:

MSYS-1.0.11.exe

msysDTK-1.0.1.exe

msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz

The files are all hosted on haskell.org as they're quite hard to find in the official MinGW/MSYS repo

Run MSYS-1.0.11.exe followed by msysDTK-1.0.1.exe. The former asks you if you want to run a normalization step. You can skip that.

Unpack msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz into D:\msys\1.0. Note that you can't do that using an MSYS shell, because you can't overwrite the files in use, so make a copy of D:\msys\1.0, unpack it there, and then rename the copy back to D:\msys\1.0.
