  Maybe you could try building it with 2.8 and let us know how
  it goes?

We are discussing his problem in wxhaskell-users mailing-list now.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00488.html

I send patch to fix that. And patch is already pushed in latest darcs 
repository.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00224.html

I'm waiting for his answer now.

[Haskell-cafe] [Haskell Beginner] Compiling wxhaskell fails for me

2008-07-28 Thread Daniel Kahlenberg
Hi,

I try to build the current wxhaskell stuff from the darcs repository
on the sh provided by msys with mingw32 (`uname -a' : MINGW32_NT-5.1
... 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2007-01-12 12:05 i686 Msys), but it fails with
the message `wx/graphics.h' isn't found, when it comes to build the
wxc part.

On the wxhaskell site they advice to use the 2.6.x version of the
wxWidgets distribution, which I followed so far. The tool call which
sets the wxversion variable (`wx-config --version') is executed and
returns 2.6.4. The searched hosted graphics.h as I determined seems
available as part of the 2.8.x version of wxwidgets at first.

Now my question: Why does the build process search for it, especially
how do I get it to succeed. Would I have to use the 2.8.x version
against the recommendation? Has anyone of you successfully built the
recommended version of the bindings, if yes - how? Could you share?
Did I forget to build something on the wxwidgets side?

Thank you so far
Daniel.

[Haskell-cafe] Haskell beginner

2007-03-15 Thread arnuld

i want to start learning Haskell and willing to master it :-)  i have
done some Common Lisp from http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/. so i know
what are functions, variables, etc. BUT i have never done any real
life programmming or any kind of software development.

in my country no Haskell books are available :-( , hence i can only
use online Tutorials. my main purpose is to learn real-life
programming by contributing some Haskell coding to a GPLed Software
written using Haskell.

i have found Yet Another Haskell Tutorial after searching the archives.

is it really a good idea to learn Haskell using only Online material ?
(when one does not have any offline resources)

Hi Arnuld,

It's certainly possible. I'm new to the language too and learning it much
the same way. It sounds like you don't have a lot of experience programming.
I think this is an asset, not a liability. I would be interested in what
concepts are the hardest to understand so the community can develop better
tutorials for users without a lot of functional programming and abstract
math background.

Yet another Haskell Tutorial is the way I learned it.  I find that subscribing 
to the mailing lists and reading the tutorial material is generally speaking 
enough.

Do call back here if you need help.  The Wikibook people would also 
appreciate feedback on what you found easy or difficult to understand.

Hang out in #haskell in IRC (freenode). That's probably the best
resource you'll ever find when learning Haskell.

So here's the strategy:
1. Read tutorials
2. When you get stuck, ask on #haskell
3. Goto 1

(yes I deliberately wrote an imperative algorithm using gotos to
describe how to learn Haskell, and I found it amusing)

This is all a good idea, but I've found that I've never learned nearly
as much as when I started bashing out some code. So I highly recommend
starting up some project that's interesting to you too.

 Hi all, I'm pretty much new to Haskell however I'm stuck on something
 which is that I'm trying to create a function called display where I type
 in a DVD name, e.g. dvd1, it returns d (String) and the multiplication of
 q (Int) and i (Double)
 
 Here's what I've done so far:
 
 type Film = (Int,String,Int,Double)
 
 dvd1 :: Film
 dvd1 = (1, Space, 5, 9.99)
 
 display :: Product - String
 display (c,d,q,i) = d
 
 My display function only shows the string but unfortunately I'm stuck on
 how to get the display function to multiply q (Int) and i (Double)
 together and display it next to d.
 
 Can someone help me out please? :)
 

I'd recommend a tutorial like
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~hal/docs/daume02yaht.pdf 

 display :: Film - String
 display (c,d,q,i) = d ++   ++ show (fromIntegral q * i)

q needs to be converted first and show will convert the result to a string.
