I have been trying to build the latest version on windows 7 for a few days
now. I have not managed to get it. The furthest I have gotten has given me
an error-dump from cabal about /include/wx/string.h after [22 of 22]...
\WXCore.o

I built wx in the way that was prescribed by the wiki page. I then set the
environment variable WXWIN and WXCFG properly. When I tried to run cabal
install wx, it failed telling me I didn't have a long list of C libraries. I
then ran cabal install wx --extra-include-dirs = "" --extra-lib-dirs "" to
point to the libraries in my mingw distribution. I am using my own instead
of the one that comes with the haskell platform because the latter didn't
seem to have the libraries. I don't know. I am very new to Haskell.

Anyway, running with the extra flags worked except for the error I described
in the first line of this message. I don't know what to do. I have noticed
that wxhaskell's wiki page does not state that it has been successfully
built on Win7. Is this the state of things?

Thanks
