MSys is probably unnecessary, but mingw is necessary to to get configure scripts to run. I wholeheartedly applaud including both of these, because a lot more of hackage will really be just a "cabal install" away. MSys is the separate shell, but you can use mingw with the Windows "cmd" shell if you wish. > > My hope is that the more useful C libraries will get added to HP so that > I can start using them.

You'll probably need to build and install the C portaudio library manually.
