Yes, sorry, I've adjusted the webpage. I'm not even sure if there are binary libraries that one can install on Windows, but then I haven't checked the web-page thoroughly. I wonder if people would be happy to have a Windows installer for all the binary libraries. Then they could still install the cabal packages which should be easy enough. > 2.

I can try that. I think this would work. To quote On May 26, 2010, at 20:29, k...@cas.mcmaster.ca wrote: > Jürgen Nicklisch-Franken <j...@arcor.de> schrieb: > >> 2.

That would be great since it would make the maintenance of the Gtk2HsSetup.hs files (which are indeed identical) much easier. However, I doubt that this works: saying 'cabal install gtk' will first compile Setup.hs before the existence of all dependencies are checked. Thus, the build will simply fail and the user has to manually install gtk2hs-buildtools as before. Same holds for 'runhaskell Setup.hs'.
