Heh, I was trying to build this yesterday and it was making by eyes bleed. With the curl package on Hackage, I merely need an SSL enabled version of libcurl, and every Linux distro I've tried this on has several variations of such a package. (You have a choice of OpenSSL or GNUTLS, for example.) Apparently neither OpenSSL nor cURL wants to provide such a Windows binary package, though, so I attempted to build a version of libcurl with SSL support... Sigbjorn's instructions are definitely out of date. (I couldn't use his ZIP package, either.) Using MSYS, though, I was able to compile a version of libcurl with winssl, but then every variation of cabal install command wasn't cooperating. What should I be using instead of the following, neither of which seems to tell cabal where to find libcurl? ``` $ CPPFLAGS=-Ic:/code/curl_install/include cabal install curl --ld-options=-Lc:/code/curl_install/lib $ cabal install curl --extra-lib-dirs=c:/code/curl_install/lib --extra-include-dirs=c:/code/curl_install/include ``` Detail, showing some verbose error messages: https://gist.github.com/4056331 Kevin
