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!

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.

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. [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.
