Is it possible to post the correct cabal binary at http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html ? A while ago I gave up on trying to get GHC 6.12.1 working, for I lost the battle building cabal on my windows machine It would help A LOT when cabal.exe could be downloaded somewhere... Thanks

That and all Cabal 0.8 binaries on Windows suffer from zlib corrupted stream issues. I've got cabal-install binary, but it's not worth distributing :-( There is a cabal ticket for this. Thanks, Neil On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 11:27 PM, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com wrote: Andrew

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. On

Well the precompiled one provided on doesn't seem to work with GHC 6.12.1, you get an error. So yes, it would be nice to at least update the precompiled version on the website :-) On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 7:41 PM, Andrew Coppin andrewcop...@btinternet.com wrote: Peter Verswyvelen wrote: Using

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
