Re: [wxhaskell-users] problems buiding wxHaskell on Windows
One additional step: I was getting the error: The program can’t start because wxc.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. So, (From: http://wewantarock.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/wxhaskell-news/ ) 2. had to copy wxc.dll from ..\AppData\Roaming\cabal\wxc-0.90.0.2\ghc-7.0.4 to the current directory so that it could be found 3. had to add ..\wxWidgets2.9.3\lib\gcc_dll to the path so those DLLs could be found --- > -Original Message- > Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 9:56 PM > To: Fabian Binz; wxhaskell-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [wxhaskell-users] problems buiding wxHaskell on Windows > > Hmm, I think I got it fixed. > > I did a clean-out of cabal files, reloaded them all, and made sure that I > only had wx-config > 2.6 anywhere on my path, and it seems to build properly now! > > I think that although I was seeing a new (2.6) wx-config, there was still an > old (2.1) around on > which was getting found somehow, and this was goofing things up.

Re: [wxhaskell-users] problems buiding wxHaskell on Windows
Hmm, I think I got it fixed. I did a clean-out of cabal files, reloaded them all, and made sure that I only had wx-config 2.6 anywhere on my path, and it seems to build properly now! I think that although I was seeing a new (2.6) wx-config, there was still an old (2.1) around on which was getting found somehow, and this was goofing things up. I deleted it, made sure only 2.6 versions were areound, and now it all seems to build. Next to try in in Haskell!

[Cross posting to the libraries list.]
Actually, maybe it's possible to integrate the creation of one-click
installers with the Haskell Platform efforts?
The best option would be to have wxHaskell to become part of the
platform, but it probably doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion right
now. But the focus is on the underlying C libraries anyway, these are
the things that are tricky to install.
Of course, someone has to prepare an installer, this amount of work
doesn't magically disappear. But maybe it's a good idea to share common
infrastructure, resources and knowledge with the Haskell Platform
effort? Things that can be shared are:
* the guy with the hat on top (release manager) who prods people to stay
in sync
* testing infrastructure (I have this romantic image where the Haskell
Platforms hackers have access to a vast cloud of virtual machines to
test their installation on different systems)
* shell scripts for automating the creation of installers. (I for one
have no clue how to create an installer on MacOS X.)
So, the idea would be to have several installers: the Haskell Platform
as a basis and then several "Pillars" on top, for instance the "GUI
Pillar" that includes binaries for wxHaskell and GTK, or a "Web Pillar"
that collects several web packages as soon as they become tricky to
install with cabal ("yesod platform"). The latter should probably be a
user install, not a global one.

Re: [wxhaskell-users] problems buiding wxHaskell on Windows
I haven't updated haskell platform to newest, but I would find it strange if the old version stopped working. If you merely had to rebuild wxhaskell, the issue might be that 0.9 and 0.13.2.1 target version 2.9 by default. Wx-0.13.2.1 can be configured to use your 2.8 installation. I roughly outlined the process in previous post. http://www.mail-archive.com/wxhaskell-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01139.html As a side note, most of the mysterious cabal build errors I get (on windows 7) are fixed by running set LANG=C in cmd before compiling (or setting it as permanent environment variable). Installer would indeed be very nice, but it takes a lot of work to create and maintain universal installer and it would currently benefit only a handful of people. I'm guessing the majority of wxhaskell users are fairly savvy developers, so it would not seem worth the trouble. That of course quickly becomes self fulfilling statement since it will actively drive away people who have no interest in fiddling with the nuances of the installation process. They may give it a try, but fail and give up and you never hear from them. I will devote some time on this if I end up using haskell on more projects. Most people who wish to use wxhaskell are not likely to participate in its development, but at the same time people are less willing to develop a library with only few users. Haskell platform itself is pretty much single click installation, and it is very easy to get started with. Ideally that should be the case with every gui toolkit as well.

Re: [wxhaskell-users] problems buiding wxHaskell on Windows
I've never managed to get wxHaskell running without problems on windows, last time I tried there was some kind of encoding problem, and I gave up. That would be cool if there was an installer that would install wxHaskell with all dependences on top of a freshly installed haskell platform on windows. I would be eternally thankful if someone could do that.
