Hi, If you go the EclipseFP approach, you may have installations troubles too. In my case, it was due to having a version of GHC and libraries that EclipseFP doesn't like. Once I got it to work, I loved it. David. 2013/8/8 Dorin Lazar dorin.la...@gmail.com: Hi, I understood what's wrong

For those who want to be productive rather than talkative masoquists (thus said with all my love ;)), there are windows installers for Leksah and they work perfectly well. 2013/8/9 David Virebayre dav.vire+hask...@gmail.com Hi, If you go the EclipseFP approach, you may have installations

While your friend is wrong to blame haskell on his leksah installation problems i think the culprit here is the leksah web site. It misinforms users saying that leksah runs on windows. It's like Blizzard saying Diablo 3 runs on linux because there are reports of linux users successfully running

Hey Dorin, I don't understand your claims. 1) haskell has worked perfectly well on windows for quite some time. I used HUGs nearly a decade ago, and in more recent time (2-3 years ago) I helped teach an introductory first computer science class using GHC where many students were doing great work

Hi, I understood what's wrong about my approach - and since I want to use an IDE to assist me, I will try both EclipseFP and Sublime Text, to see how that works. My feeling was that since the leksah website suggested that cabal is the way to do it and since when I search for a Haskell IDE that is

Hello Mihai, you bring up 2 unrelated questions, i'll address them seperately 1) Leksah should not be considered an official haskell ide, but merely one of many community supported editing tools. And frankly one of the less widely used ones at that! Leksah is not used much at all by anyone,
