Hello Building this on widows might be a bit of a challenge...
Generally I'd be advise building with "runhaskell Setup.hs ..." from MinGW, the first step of which would be something like: > runhaskell Setup.hs configure > --extra-include-dirs=C:\\msys\\1.0\\home\\stephen\\encoding-0.6.3 > --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\msys\\1.0\\home\\stephen\\encoding-0.6.3 Above should be all one line - no doubt it will get split somewhere. Paths are separated with double slash, they don't need to be in double quotes. On my system, even though the path supplied via the --extra-* directives was correct Cabal was telling me: Configuring encoding-0.6.3... Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing header file: system_encoding.h This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. This is actually due to a missing header file included *by* system_encoding.h rather than Cabal not finding system_encoding.h. It took to me a while to spot that one! [note to self - always check for this in future]. The missing header is <langinfo.h> - where it originates I don't know, as I don't have it with either Msys/MinGW or Cygwin and my Cygwin is pretty large these days.
