I have recently installed the Haskell Platform (for the first time) to a MS Windows network drive; e.g.:
H:\aaa\bbb\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\
I did so without admin privs.
It has ghc-6.12.1
I need to not install to C:.
I would like to install and use Gtk2Hs and Glade on the Platform also.
I have used Gtk2Hs and Glade in Haskell (with just ghc, not the Platform), but I have never used Cabal or the Haskell Platform.
I see at http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ that Gtk2Hs now comes in a Cabal package ("Gtk2Hs 0.11.0 released").
The info there says you can just install "the Gtk+ libraries", and then do:
cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
cabal install gtk
I interpret "the Gtk+ libraries" to mean "gtk: the base GUI library" package listed at
http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/download/
(is that correct?).
That is a link to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gtk
which has "gtk-0.11.0.tar.gz (Cabal source package)",
which I downloaded and unpacked to a temp directory which now contains "gtk-0.11.0".
I've reviewed the Cabal documentation (that came with the Platform) and I'm having a little trouble determining exactly what to do next -- the exact commands to use for my non-C: / network drive installation. (I have not used Cabal before.)
I would prefer to do this without admin privs, if possible.
** If anyone could help me out here with a step-by-step, I would appreciate it.
Hopefully the procedure for glade will then be similar.
Thanks (very much) in advance.
