[Haskell-cafe] Install wx on Windows XP

[Eric Wong]

Hi Haskellers,

I'm trying to install wxHaskell on Windows XP. I have already installed Haskell Platform 2012.04.0.0, MinGW and wxWidgets. When I try to install wx, I got the following error when cabal is installing wxcore:

$ cabal install wx

wx-0.90.0.1 depends on wxcore-0.90.0.3 which failed to install.
wxcore-0.90.0.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

It looks like it's confused by the spaces in the path and can't find the wxc.h file. I tried to configure cabal to install all user packages into a simpler directory. But cabal always install to the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\cabal directory no matter how I change the config file there.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem or change cabal directory on Windows? Thanks.

p.s. I'm using the user Administrator.
