Eric,
Thanks to a pointer someone gave me, I found wx-config at:
http://wxconfig.googlepages.com/
I followed your instructions, but I assumed that we should run the git lines
if we have git, and darcs if we're using darcs. Do I need both git and
darcs? I just have darcs installed. I had no problem building wxdirect:

But I had trouble building wxcore:

PS C:\Users\Lyle\devel\haskell\wxhaskell> cd wxcore
PS C:\Users\Lyle\devel\haskell\wxhaskell\wxcore> cabal install

dist\build\autogen
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
wxcore-0.11.1.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
Do I need git?
Thanks,
Lyle

trial. Simplify your report design, integration and deployment - and focus on
what you do best, core application coding. Discover what's new with
Crystal Reports now. http://p.sf.net/sfu/bobj-july
