I'm trying to build Yi (from the darcs repository) to take a look at it. The README that comes with it says "it's a standard Cabal project so do what you normally do" (paraphrased slightly). The problem is that I'm not a cabal user just yet and have no idea where to go from here.
The standard cabal usage is: runhaskell Setup.hs configure runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install

I eventually hit that Wiki and still had no joy. On a clean darcs get:

Now I know that gtk is installed, given that I'm able to build gtk2hs
(or at least was able to -- I haven't tried it with GHC 6.6.1 yet). I
have no idea what Vty is, so I don't know how to solve this problem. I
am interested in why the gtk build is looking for what appears to be a
console library, however.
Any further guidance?
