Install Windows Haskell from the Haskell.org web site download. Then run from Windows command line. You may have to put the haskell bin directory on the Windows PATH. Although I think it does this itself on instillation. Aaron ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] borked windows environment, want to start over
Cygwin is fine for development - the shell is Bash (this can probably be changed), so it is much more capable than the MS shell. Personally I've never needed to uninstall Cygwin, if things get in a mess re-running the Cygwin installer seems to sort things out. One caveat is that if you want to build Haskell bindings to C libraries, MinGW+MSys is preferable to Cygwin. Cygwin shared libraries depend on the cygwin.dll which generally isn't what you want for bindings. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
