[Haskell-beginners] wxHaskell install errors

[carlos gomez]

First, you should make sure for yourself that wxWidgets 2.9 is well
installed, for that you can try to build the wxwidgets' examples

cd c:\wx\samples\minimal
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug

Then, I can think that it is just a problem of configuring and installing
wxhaskell.

For the paths you have to set, probably the wxc is not installed on your pc
yet, and probably that's why you couldn't find. But you should follow the
way setting those paths and put the right versions of the libraries you are
installing.

Best wishes, Carlos Gomez
