You can try to build it by adding '--constraint=hxt==9.0.\*' after your cabal-install command. You can also ask the author to add version ranges to the package.
Is the escape needed if you're using single quotes?
I don't know. I always escape *s in shell commands to be sure the shell doesn't expand them, but in most of the cases, it probably works without them. It will likely even work without quotes and without the escape, unless you have files matching the pattern. Erik
