I am using the Haskell Libzip package [ http://hackage.haskell.org/package/LibZip] to unzip a password protected file. This works great in OSX but I now need to build the application using this package for Windows. I have not been able to figure out how to get libzip [ http://www.nih.at/libzip/index.html] installed under windows so that cabal can install the package. I don't seem to be able to find a compiled binary anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks Riaan

You will have to compile the C package yourself, using MinGW (see the HaskellWiki page for Windows[0]). Start the MinGW shell with command 'sh' and follow the instructions in the file INSTALL.

Thank you for the advice - I got libzip compiled using MinGW but now I am struggling to get cabal to find it, it seems that pkg-config can't detect it. I have it in the default locations: /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib inside the MinGW shell. Any suggestions? On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 9:43 PM, Henk-Jan van Tuyl <hjgtuyl@chello.nl> wrote:

Don't worry. I found the problem. After installing LibZip I needed to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfib. All good now, thank you for the help On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Riaan <info@rotnetix.com> wrote:
