Hello, If you've installed the Haskell Platform for Windows you should have the command-line tool cabal-install already installed. For many packages, the following will work:
cabal update cabal install <package-name>
This will fetch the tar.gz package from Hackage (as well as its
transitive dependencies) and install them.
I hear from Windows developers that even with these tools, it is still
a chore to install certain packages and libraries on a Windows
environment. But the above would be the place to start.

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
HDBC-2.2.6.1.tar.gz (Cabal source package) package description (included in the package)
If I'm correct, tar is a Unixy thing...
Can someone tell me how to download this to a Windows Vista PC?
Thank you
