installing try-reflex on Windows 7/Cygwin 64

[briannolan45]

When trying to install try-reflex on cygwin, under Windows 7, I got error message: sorry, there is no binary distribution of Nix for your platform
It looks like a problem occurred..

Is there an installation for windows or Cygwin? I am somewhat of a newbie in Haskell environment, so please excuse if this is an obvious/dumb question.

You can still install reflex - just not using this repository, unfortunately! Since the Nix package manager doesn't support Windows, you'll have to install ghcjs, reflex, and reflex-dom from Hackage directly. Once you get them installed, you should be able to proceed just as you would with try-reflex.

I hope the Nix folks will be able to support Windows at some point in the future, and when they do, I'll make sure try-reflex works with it, too!

Thanks, Ryan, I'll give it a try! Thanks very much for the quick response!

@briannolan45 did you manage to get it running on windows?

Hi guys,

You might be able to use stack to get things going. See #35.

Still wont help for Windows due to: ghcjs/ghcjs-dom#19 , as ghcjs-dom is a dependency of reflex-dom.

Linux + Virtual Box is the only way I can compile on a Windows OS at the moment.

Closing this since it isn't an issue with reflex-platform.
