How is it going with desktop apps nowadays? What happened to wxHaskell?
If you want to make a simple desktop GUI, fltkhs — which binds to the FLTK library — is a good bet, as it's the easiest to install of all the Haskell desktop GUI libraries (even on Windows!). Unfortunately, the FLTK library doesn't create the prettiest GUIs in the world (e.g. see the GitHub page). If you care about such things, the author has also released the fltkhs-themes library, which provides a set of widgets with a much nicer style - see the GitHub page for a showcase.

build the package gi-harfbuzz on Archlinux
Not that I really know anything about the package, but you might be experiencing this issue: https://github.com/haskell-gi/haskell-gi/issues/396

‘Missing C libraries’ when compiling haskell-gi-base on Windows
As far as I can tell, I haven’t explicitly set extra-prog-path to anything in particular. haskell-gi’s package.cabal doesn’t seem to have this variable set either. If it does have some value out of the ordinary, I would have no idea how to figure that out.

Best UI Toolkit for generating UI elements at runtime
Excellent news! For Windows, there’s some detailed documentation on installation, which I personally think is excellent. (Though I may be biased, since I wrote some of it myself!) For Linux, I remember installation being pretty simple last time I tried it (on an Ubuntu VM, as I already mentioned), though I haven’t attempted it again lately.
