I'm trying to install wxcore-0.11.0 using Cabal. I've downloaded it from http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/wxcore-0.11.0, unpacked and tried to follow instructions from http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal/How_to_install_a_Cabal_package, but this is what I'm getting: D:\libraries\wxcore-0.11.0>runhaskell Setup configure Setup: sh: runGenProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory) What does this mean?

On Windows it usually means that the package has a "configure" shell script and therefore requires that Cygwin or MSYS be installed. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH

I have installed Cygwin, and still getting the exact same error. Should something else be done after installing it?

Are you running "cabal install" from within Cygwin prompt? All best Christopher Skrzętnicki

No, I'm not running "cabal install", I'm running "runhaskell Setup configure" (as written in http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal/How_to_install_a_Cabal_package). "cabal" is not even on the PATH, actually. Now I launched this command from cygwin, this is what I got: .../cygdrive/d/libraries/wxcore-0.11.0 $ runhaskell.exe Setup configure warning: Unable to find wxWidgets configuration (wx-config). checking system: error: Unable to find the 'wx-config' program: wx-config Maybe you forgot to run 'make install' on wxWidgets? Otherwise, add the install directory of wx-config to your path. Or maybe you are trying to compile with Microsoft Visual C++? If so, you can specify that on the command line: For example: ./configure --with-msc What is wx-config and where can I get it?

You need wxWidgets sources: get them at http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/#latest_stable . After that you need to install them appropriately, so that wx-config will be in PATH. All best Christopher Skrzętnicki
