Glad to hear it, but please let me know what problems you had.

GLFW doesn't require MinGW/MSYS to compile. But since you have MinGW,
you need to make sure PATH contains ghc-lib directory, and it must
come before MinGW's path, because GHC and MinGW may be using different
binutils.

It seems that you have not been able to install the GLFW module. Which
step of the Setup.hs configure/build/intall went wrong?
