Dear all,

this is a first announcement of cabal packages for Gtk2Hs. This is  
meant for all those who can spare five minutes to check the packages  
and to improve them. You need to download the following:

gtk2hs-buildtools-0.9.tar.gz
cairo-0.10.5.tar.gz
glib-0.10.5.tar.gz
pango-0.10.5.tar.gz
gtk-0.10.5.tar.gz

from http://www2.in.tum.de/~simona/ . Then install the packages in the  
given order. The first package will install some executables that are  
needed for the other packages. Make sure that they land somewhere in  
your PATH.

I'm particularly interested in comments regarding what I need to do to  
make these cabal files work with other versions of ghc. I've tested  
the files with 6.10.4. It seems that one has to give a big tree of  
base-version variants which I clearly have not done yet.

Any comments welcome,
Axel.

P.S.: My effort to cabalize Gtk2Hs has the following motivation:

- easier setup for users, fewer complaints, less hassle
- building on Windows: I don't have Windows around and hope that  
a .cabal file will make this "just work"
- integration into the Haskell Platform
- separation of other packages: I don't have time to maintain all  
those additional libraries that are already in the Gtk2Hs darcs
