In particular you can install pkg-config with `choco install pgkconfiglite` using chocolatey package manager.
I believe chocolatey can also install msys, and has support for telling cabal-install about it. If you haven't installed anything with chocolatey before, `choco install haskell-dev` should get you a GHC and MSYS, which should get you `pkg-config`. If you've installed cabal before msys, you will need to force a reinstall (so that it detects msys and configures itself accordingly). After installing msys (either directly or via `choco install haskell-dev`), run `choco install cabal -y --reinstall`. HTH, -- Jack

I'm attempting to use GTK+3 to create a Desktop, but I am having a problem installing all of the dependencies. I keep getting the following error: GUI cabal: version >=0.9.0 of pkg-config is required
I understand this error message as: You need to install pkg-config first. pkg-config is the tool that manages path and versions of installed C libraries and Cabal uses it to query existence and compiler flags of installed C libraries.
I am using Cygwin on a Windows 10 operating system. What is needed to fix this? Is this the best way to do a desktop GUI in Haskell?
On Windows I used MSYS2 and this helped a lot to install components like pkg-config and other C libraries plus their interfaces._______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
