Re: [Haskell] Compiling wxHaskell from source?

Hello, I also couldn't compile it. I looked in the sources a bit, and at least one of the problems was that that the wxHaskell wrappers used 'char' insted of 'wxChar', which I think causes problems if wxWidgets is compiled with unicode support (as is probably the case with the Debian library). It

Don't get me started, please :-). I tried making each field a separate class but then needed to compose records of difference field instances which led to HList which led to GHC eating up all my memory and crashing, etc. I can see where you are going but if I have 250 records with shared

I vote for a separate namespace for record access functions. To me a gameID in one record is always the same gameID in another record and having to add prefixes to each access field sucks when records number in the hundreds :-(. My users now have to deal with tiGameID, blahBlahGameID, etc.
