I am using the pkgconfig feature from Cabal and hoped that this would 
make the package portable. It sounds like you tried to install the 
Haskell JACK bindings on Windows and it failed? Can you describe how it 
failed? If I can adapt the package to make it work on Windows, I'd be 
happy to do it.

Btw. 2: I have already built a realtime synthesizer with JACK backend:
