I tried to clean install Haskell and HTF on a Windows 11 machine for a university course. I followed the instructions to install all the haskell components with GHCup, and then I ran cabal install HTF to install HTF, however all my installation attempts fail with

Failed to build HTF-0.15.0.2.

I have tried multiple versions of cabal and ghc but none seem to work. Any suggestions?
