I have seen wxHaskell work on WIndows 7, using the same configuration 
that works for me on Win XP and Vista (small test program)


namely GHC 6.10.4   wxHaskell 0.11.1.2 - uses wxWidgets-2.8.something

Installed from binaries.

To distribute a useable binary you send around a .exe plus the wxhaskell 
dll.


See http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/Saoithin/#bin


I hope to try this program out on Win 7 later today - I'll let you know 
how I got on...


So unless you really need all the extra goodies of platform 2010,
the current fix is to work back to ghc 6.10.4


Similar challenges with GTK+ and gtk2hs.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] I'm still having challenges to get a Haskell GUI to work under Windows 7

2010-10-08 Thread Andrew Butterfield 
The windows binaries built using GHC 10.6.4 and wxHaskell 0.11.1.2 on either 
Win XP or Win 7
work on WIn 7 just fine, except for the font dialog box, which does nothing. 
This dialog box was a bit flaky on WInXP in any case.


I installed 10.6.4 above on WIndows 7 using the binary installer, even though 
the web-page did not mention WIndows 7 - it seems to work just fine.
