As Andrea (and the README file) say you need to ghc --make Setup ./Setup configure --user ... etc The reason the first thing you tried did not work is due to: #325 SHGetFolderPath requiered to configure cabal on windows http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/325 The solution is for some Windows person to update the Win32 binding package to bind these functions, then we can import them directly rather than having to FFI import them ourselves (which does not work in ghci because we cannot tell ghci which extra dll libs are needed).

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Trying to install Cabal
the solution here is to compile Setup.hs with ghc first, i.e. "ghc
--make Setup.hs" and then use the produced Setup.exe, this is also
recommended un linux since runghc will have to load and interpret many
modules if not.
However if you've already built cabal-install against 1.6.0.1 you can
simply "cabal update" and then "cabal install Cabal cabal-install" to
get both working with the latest code.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Trying to install Cabal
Probably not, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong. I think
it might have something to do with the fact that I've also got Hugs
for Windows installed. Could there be some sort of conflict? I'm just
following the steps in Appendix A of "Real World Haskell", which
doesn't mention the pre-built version of Cabal.
Anyway, I'll try your suggestion. Thanks for your help.
David.

[Haskell-cafe] Trying to install Cabal
Hi!
I've just installed ghc (v 6.10.1) for Windows, and it seems to be
installed correctly, and now I'm trying to install Cabal (v1.6.0.2),
but I'm getting the following error message (along with a lot of
warnings about a deprecated something-or-other, which I assume I can
ignore):
C:\Temp>runghc Setup configure -p
Distribution\Simple\Utils.hs:1:11:
Warning: -fffi is deprecated: use -XForeignFunctionInterface or
pragma {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface#-} instead
Distribution\Simple\Utils.hs:4:15:

Warning: -fffi is deprecated: use -XForeignFunctionInterface or
pragma {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface#-} instead
During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol:
shgetfolderpa...@20
This may be due to you not asking GHCi to load extra object files,
archives or DLLs needed by your current session. Restart GHCi, specifying
the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and -lmissinglibname
flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi command line.
Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi.
If you suspect the latter, please send a bug report to:
glasgow-haskell-b...@haskell.org
Am I missing a dependency, or is ghc not installed properly, or am I
doing something else wrong?
Thanks,
David.

The Cabal library package always bootstraps using its own source code. It does not need any existing version. Despite the bootstrapping it is just an ordinary Cabal package. It can be configured and built in the standard way using runhaskell or cabal-install. > Just run "make" to bootstrap it, IIRC. Though that also works.

Just run "make" to bootstrap it, IIRC. Cabal managed to bootstrap just fine when installed with runhaskell Setup.hs ... as usual on my windows machine. (and running make would have been a problem). But to install cabal-install (the command line interface), you have to install cabal (the library) first. I assume that in the future, ghc will include cabal-install? Until then, it would be nice to have some ad-hoc solution to add cabal-install to a fresh installation of ghc (e.g. a tarball containing cabal-install and it's dependencies and a build script, or a script which downloads said dependencies). Currently, people have to learn dependency chasing and manual hackage/cabal installation just to install cabal-install, which does a great job at making this skill useless.
