Thanks. I installed msys but again I faced the same problem. I solved it by

silly but it works.
I suspect this is because you've cloned repo under system other than
windows and thus didn't clone ghc-tarballs repo.
Now I have problems with installing alex and happy. I followed steps on wiki
page, ie. downloaded
cabal.exe and added it to path. I can run 'cabal update' and 'cabal install
alex happy' but it
looks like packages are not installed in my home directory (home under msys
shell that is). Any
idea where are they installed so that I can add them to path?
AFAIUI, default prefix is
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\cabal\<arch>-windows-ghc-<version>.
But I'd recommend to install things to predefined location, using
--prefix option of cabal, e.g. thus:
cabal install --global --prefix=<location> --datadir=<location>
to avoid potential problems with national chars in username. This
problem existed in the past, not sure it exists now, though.
