I have Windows 10
I installed Haskell Platform 8.2.1 (HaskellPlatform-8.2.1-full-x86_64-setup.exe from https://www.haskell.org/platform/windows.html) (This version have mingw and gcc 6.2.0 for what this matters)
I downloaded Achelane from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxhaskell/files/wxInstall/
I unzipped it in a path without spaces (a bug prevents it from compiling if path has spaces).
I gave cabal update and updated the config lines extra-prog-path: and extra-lib-dirs
I called Install.bat but when installing wxdirect I get the error:
cabal: The directory "wxdirect-0.92.3.0\" already exists, not unpacking.

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
wxdirect-0.92.3.0-LWW4KzdSYghFJi8qk6ENNl failed during the building phase. The
exception was:
ExitFailure 1
O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado.
Could not install wxHaskell
The message "O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado." means "System cannot find specified file." because of my Brazilian Portuguese version of Windows.
If I follow https://wiki.haskell.org/WxHaskell/Windows#From_GitHub and try to install from github I get the same error. Idem for cabal install wx.
I had several previous attempts where I get a little more ahead but I wiped my Haskell install clean and now I am stuck on this error.
If I do not change cabal config file I get the same error too, so I thing it is not relevant (at this point yet).
UPDATE: I managed to go further, but got stuck again: I gave the ghc-pkg check that the message suggest gives a huge amount of warnings. But the summary is:
The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem
listed above, or because they depend on a broken package.
Cabal-1.24.2.0
process-1.4.3.0
directory-1.3.1.5
time-1.8.0.3
Win32-2.3.1.1
strict-0.3.2
Before that I get in the middle of the huge amount of warnings this:
There are problems in package strict-0.3.2:
Warning: library-dirs: C:\Users\agranero\AppData\Roaming\cabal\x86_64-windows-ghc-8.2.1\strict-0.3.2-7ZEebv7EabCEjNWrS66TpZ
doesn't exist or isn't a directory
Following the sequence (as at each Install.bat run It warned of the next lib) I reinstalled all those libs with cabal install lib --reinstall --force-reinstalls each time I advanced more.
After that I run Install.bat again and I got:

wxdirect-0.92.3.0 (reinstall)

Now I am completely lost. There is a report of this error on http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/GHC-14418-Compile-errors-wxcore-0-92-3-0-td5866957.html and on https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14418 but it was closed as not being a bug of the compiler but of wxHaskell (which I agree with).
