Good afternoon,

    In the course of doing this, I probably did the installation twice, meo culpa.

    As fro the environment variables, they are [note: each directory is on a separate line]:
        echo %PATH%
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell\bin;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\bin;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\bin;
            C:\Windows\system32;
            C:\Windows;
            C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\DLLShared\;
            C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin;
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\bin;C:\Users\User;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\bin;
            c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\share\gettext
        echo %INCLUDE%
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\include\libglade-2.0;
            c:\users\user\downloads\libxml2-2.2.7-1_win32\include;
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\include;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\include
        echo %PKG_CONFIG%    [presumably this should be PKG_CONFIG_PATH, since PKG_CONFIG is not used]: echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH%
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig;
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig\include;
            c:\users\user\downloads\libxml2-2.2.7-1_win32\lib\pkgconfig
        echo %LIB% [added just for sake of completeness]:
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib

Why do you have Gtk+ in two folders? Did you somehow install it twice?
Also what's in the following environment variable:
PATH, INCLUDE, PKG_CONFIG

Good afternoon:

    Step 1 ['cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools'] ran successfully.

    This is what 'echo %lib%' gives:
            C:\Users\User>echo %lib%
            C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib

      This is what pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 gives:
            C:\Users\User>pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
            2.16.2

Thanks again

Hi Patrick,

This is what I did so far:
  1. I followed your wiki
  2. I opened Command window and entered the command: cabal install gtk
  3. It returned the error messages:
          * Missing C libraries: z, cairo
          * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl
  4. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk
--extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include"
--extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include"
      This returned the same error messages as indicated in step 3 above.

Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if gtk2hs-buildtools
installed successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more
include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For
missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you
have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the
lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at
the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for
the current user.

Good luck
Tim
