GHC 6.12 changed the format of the internal package database. Only cabal-install 0.8 can read this format properly. Version 0.8 is only available on Hackage, the binaries available are cabal-install 0.6.2. I assume part of the platform release effort is to create new cabal-install binaries.

Well the precompiled one provided on doesn't seem to work with GHC 6.12.1, you get an error.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform for GHC 6.12.1?
I'm pretty sure you don't need mingw and all that. I've bootstrapped cabal-install on windows a few times now without needing anything more than ghc (though I haven't done 6.12 yet so I might be totally off base here...) You can't use the nice bootstrap script, but you can download and build the dependencies manually (and IIRC there are about 5 or so that don't come included). Which is still a royal pain, but hopefully easier than all that other messiness. - Job On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 4:38 AM, Peter Verswyvelen bugf...@gmail.com wrote: Using GHC 6.12.1 on Windows currently is hard, since one must compile the latest version of cabal-install, which is a nightmare to do for a typical windows user (install mingw, msys, utils like wget, download correct package from hackage, compile them in correct order, etc etc) What's the status of the Haskell platform for the latest and greatest Glasgow Haskell Compiler? ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
