I have started learning Haskell for second time :)
First was attempt was failure.
I have simple guide how to create portable Haskell for Windows:
1. Download Haskell Platform from http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
runas admin and select "just extract files" in Haskell dir
2. make Haskell\hs.bat ->
----------------------------
@ECHO OFF
rem %~dp0 survives runas admin, %CD% doesn't
rem %~d0 current drive
rem No spaces in Path!
SET
Path=%Path%;%~dp0;%~dp0bin;%~dp0lib;%~dp0lib\extralibs\bin;%~dp0mingw\bin;%~dp0code;C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin
CMD /k "cd %~dp0MyCode"
----------------------------
MyCode is folder in Haskell dir.
Content between --- should be written in hs.bat
3. start hs.bat and type:
path // check paths
ghci // check interpreter
Prelude> :?
Test it for yourself and put it in a book if you think it will do some good.
