Haskell installation on Windows, cabal configuration

Question

I install Haskell on Windows based on the instructions https://www.haskell.org/platform/ and, looking at step 3, he says: "Modify your bondage (you can verify the location by running" cabal user-config init "), to contain the following lines:

extra-prog-path: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2\msys\usr\bin
extra-lib-dirs: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2\mingw\lib
extra-include-dirs: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2\mingw\include

But the automatically generated configuration file contains, for example,

extra-prog-path: C:\Users\w\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin

So another value for one of the proposed variables.

Is this intentional?

What should I do, insert the lines from step 3 at the beginning of the file, the end of the file, overwrite existing lines or skip step 3 altogether?

Answer 1

. extra-prog-path, .
