windows - Installing mingwrt into the haskell-platform without mingw-get -


the haskell-platform (2014.2.0.0) ships minggw, without mingw-get. however, compile setlocale bindings haskell need locale.h, part of mingwrt.

in usual mingw installation use mingw-get install mingwrt, since it's not included in haskell-platform doesn't work out of box.

what usual way of installing mingwrt without mingw-get?

install msys[^1]

download version 1.0.11 of msys. you'll need following files:  msys-1.0.11.exe  msysdtk-1.0.1.exe  msyscore-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz  files hosted on haskell.org they're quite hard find in official mingw/msys repo  run msys-1.0.11.exe followed msysdtk-1.0.1.exe. former asks if want run normalization step. can skip that.  unpack msyscore-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz d:\msys\1.0. note can't using msys shell, because can't overwrite files in use, make copy of d:\msys\1.0, unpack there, , rename copy d:\msys\1.0.
