To install Gtk 3 on Windows I installed a Fedora VM and set it up to cross compile windows Gtk 3 apps. This is actually much easier than installing on Gtk 3 on windows. Fedora and OpenSUSE have mingw32 rpms for all your windows needs. They even include stuff like WebKit. I then shared the DLLs and header files with my Windows machine and installed Gtk2Hs using those. If you would rather not go to the trouble of installing a VM, then there is a python script in this article might help (I have not tried it)... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6006689/where-can-i-download-precompiled-gtk-3-binaries-or-windows-installer Next time I have to refresh my Windows build machine I will try to document the process.
