Hi
Don't forget .. Mingw has to be installed too .. and in fact that is much harder. I tried to install MSYS and gave up.
You're kidding right? There's Windows installer .exes for MinGW and MSYS. You download it, run it, and click Next a few times.
Its far from that easy! Its loads of steps, and figuring out what to download is quite challenging on its own.
Thanks

I agree with Neil. I had a non trivial problem understanding what parts of which versions of Mingw and/or MSYS I should download to get ghc compiling on windows. I had to try at least three times before I setup something that works. And I assert that I am a competent person. I think their web site seriously under-explains things from an outsider's point of view. But the user base is made up of programmers, so they obviously are not under pressure to make a clearer site.
