I need some advice on the most straightforward way to install the Network package on Windows. I can install Cywgin if that's what it takes. Thanks in advance.

Looks like it wants to run "sh" (i.e., the Borne Shell), which obviously doesn't exist on Windows. Now I'm sure some kind soul somewhere has probably compiled a Win32 binary for it, but I would suggest that the build will just immediately trip over again because some *other* Unix-only tool isn't available.

How to fix? Well, I'm guessing you'll be forced to install some kind of Unix emulation layer such as Cygwin. I don't have any expertise of such things...

You can also use MSYS/MinGW, I prefer this to Cygwin. Best wishes, Maciej

it is easier if you use msys then in msys window, run ghc setup configure after that you can run ghc setup build etc in normal dos window without further recourse to msys Neil Mitchell wrote:

Hi,

I managed this with the following sequence of commands: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2010-February/013038.html

Thanks, Neil

Hi!

It needs some shell, if you install MSYS from mingw and do the cabal install from there it will work just fine.

Here is the download for MSYS: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/msys-1.0.11...

I need some advice on the most straightforward way to install the Network package on Windows. I can install Cywgin if that's what it takes. Thanks in advance.
