Installation from Source ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I got the source installation. I then did the cabal thing runghc Setup.lhs configure runghc Setup.lhs build runghc Setup.lhs install I needed perl for this. Once perl was installed I made the mistake to only run runghc Setup.lhs build which gave the errormessage "perl not found". Once I started with runghc Setup.lhs configure it worked. I think I needed to add the path to where alex was installed to the windows path. This path was C:\Program Files\Hakell\bin\ (Path, is set via Startmenu->settings->system -> advanced -> environment-variables. The path works only if the path has \ (and not /).
