So "cabal configure -v --prefix=/workspace/ext" reports
Using install prefix: C:/workspace/ext
but a subsequent "cabal install" does not respect the prefix setting,
and instead reports:
Using install prefix:
C:\Documents and Settings\1341796\Application Data\cabal
I suspect this is a known bug/feature in cabal - the "install" target in
fact does all three steps of "configure", "build", and "install",
thereby wiping any previously configured settings. Pending a bugfix to
cabal, the solution is to give all configure-time arguments to the
install step (and omit the separate configure and build steps).
With this change in the way I call cabal, I can now successfully build
pango. Yay!
But there is an error when building the gtk package:

[ERROR]
>>> Unknown identifier!
Cannot find a definition for `pixbuf_animation_new_from_file' in the
header file.
For info, I recall sending some patches for this bug before - perhaps
they got unwound in the move to cabalisation. On win32, the function is
called "pixbuf_animation_new_from_file_utf8", and there are several
other occurrences of the "_utf8" extension required in other places too.
Perhaps you can retrieve the relevant patch from the other repo?
> Thanks for bearing with us!
No problem - I'm just happy to help in making progress.
