Good morning, I'm trying to install Sqlite on a Windows PC... I'm using "Real World Haskell" as a guide in regard to this... It indicates that HDBC must be installed first and points to http://hackage.haskell.org/.
I displayed this url and see the following in regard to downloading HDBC: Downloads a.. HDBC-2.2.6.1.tar.gz (Cabal source package) b.. package description (included in the package) If I'm correct, tar is a Unixy thing...
Windows can handle .tar.gz, but if you have the cabal executable (you should have it if you've installed the Haskell platform, otherwise you'll probably need it sooner or later anyway: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html ), simply "cabal install HDBC" [1] in a command shell should work (unless there are some foreign [C] libraries missing, in which case you'd need to install those first). [1] before you can cabal install something, you first need to call "cabal update" to let cabal know what is available on hackage
Can someone tell me how to download this to a Windows Vista PC?
Thank you
