Hi, some time ago I've had similar problems making MySQL work on Windows, and I wrote a post to haskell-cafe how I finally fixed them [1]. Maybe it helps you to solve your problems. I'm still getting linker errors when using hsql-mysql [2], so if you're going to use it and run into the same errors, but are able to fix them -- please let me know! Best wishes, Maciej [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell-cafe@haskell.org/msg61265.html [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell-cafe@haskell.org/msg71670.html gladstein@gladstein.com wrote:
cabal install hdbc-mysql almost works on windows, but errors because the mysql_config command isn't part of the windows MySQL install.
Has anyone been able to get a Haskell interface to MySql going on Windows, either directly or via odbc?
cabal install haskelldb-hsql-odbc fails because it can't find an 'odbc' library. There are any number of odbc dll's installed by the MySQL odbc connector, but they all have slightly different names.
As always, a precompiled binary would be preferable but I'm happy to compile stuff under Cygwin or MINGW if need be.
Thanks in advance for your help.
