Last time I tried I wasn't able to get wx 2.8 to build on Windows. After spending a day trying to sort out gcc running out of memory and issues with Unicode support I resorted to wxPack. If not for wxPack I would have probably given up on using wxHaskell altogether. I'm sure it was possible to build it somehow, but I was not prepared to invest massive amount of time just to be able to use a GUI library.
