Re: [wxhaskell-users] mac OS installation help sought
Hi Eric Thanks a lot for the responses. On 11 Jun 2012, at 09:20, Eric Kow wrote: Have you considered adopting some sort of package management/installation software like Homebrew or MacPorts? It could make life a lot easier than trying to build things by hand. I will take a look.. I did consider it (and others recommended it) but having already forced myself to step into the cold water and try and figure out some of this basic unixy stuff I thought I may as well stay on one track, and had reached the point over this last week where building the wxWidgets package itself now seemed quite familiar at least ;-) It's pretty easy with the wxWidgets configuration tool, albeit it takes a bit of time for it to make it all. I then saw Unresolved QuickTime dependency on Mac OS X? on github and remembered I had received: ld: warning: in /System/Library/Frameworks//QuickTime.framework/QuickTime, missing required architecture x86_64 in file In fact this warning is repeated throughout the terminal output. It seems to occur every time there is a g++ command that (just a guess at this point) is linking the 2.9.3 widgets lib (has parameter -L/Users/henrylockyer/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-2.9.3/build-cocoa-debug/lib, and also has the param -framework QuickTime ). I just tend to shrug and ignore the issue myself (using a 64 bit GHC) Are you running 64 bit with wxHaskell on Snow Leopard ? I initially saw it as 'just a warning' and was going to ignore it but Conal Elliot who raised the above problem report seemed to be trying to run the same setup as I was and it seemed to be causing a fairly basic breakdown. (*Presumably* 64 bit HP) I also noted that on the wxHaskell/Mac page the known to be working configurations list only mentions 32 bit with Snow Leopard. Hence my question: I chose the 64 bit GHC option, so would I need to go back and reload this in 32 bit form? I did not completely understand Heinrich Apfelmus' suggested solution to the above problem: why go for universal binary widgets if you just want to change over to a 32bit solution (including GHC) ? But I supposed this might be more to do with macports (?). Maybe there is not a convenient 32-bit only version on macports, but just guessing. (I also posted a little of the results of my own playing with trying to build a 64-bit widgets without QuickTime framework at https://github.com/jodonoghue/wxHaskell/issues/2 ) Before I started the install attempt I was also a little unclear from reading the page at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell says ver. 2.8.x is easiest to get working, but the Building and Installing / MacOS X linked page at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/MacOS_X only talks about wxWidgets version 2.9, implying wxHaskell 0.9, no mention of 0.13, so I went with 0.9. Is wxHaskell 0.13 also ok for MacOS X? Would this be better? I think the basic story is that wxHaskell 0.13 is easier for Windows, and 0.90 for Mac. You need it for 64 bit GHC, and it works fine with 32 bit, so rather than struggle to correctly maintain two sets of install instructions, we just went with the latter. OK. That gives some encouragement to stay with 0.90 !

Hi Henry, Picking and choosing some easy questions to answer (I've very slightly updated http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Mac too) On 5 Jun 2012, at 02:52, Henry Lockyer wrote: Hopefully appropriate to ask for basic help on this list (?) Just the right place for this sort of question. It's helpful to use Gmane for searching rather than trying to puzzle through the SF archive page, I find. It's for MacOS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I just upgraded GHC to 7.0.4, 64-bit option. Have you considered adopting some sort of package management/installation software like Homebrew or MacPorts? It could make life a lot easier than trying to build things by hand. (So, no attempt to install wxHaskell itself yet.)
