MySQL + Windows + Haskell = ???

Hey guys, I've been trying to get my Yesod app working on Windows 8.1 using the Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0, and everything seemes to work well, except for MySQL. The `mysql` package doesn't build with the following error setup.exe: The program mysql_config is required but it could not be found I've found a related GitHub issue (https://github.com/bos/mysql/issues/3), but there doesn't seem to be any solution. Is there anyone who's successfully running using Haskell and MySQL on Windows? I've also tried `hdbc-mysql` and `mysql-simple`, but they both depend on the `mysql` package, so that didn't really help. I can't really use a different database, or Linux. Thanks for any tips, Jakub

You need to get a mysql development package for Windows from somewhere. Unfortunately I can't help with that. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Hi Jakub,
You could try persistent-odbc. This should give you access to mysql on
windows via odbc..
