Hi I wanted to try StyledTextControl (stc) on wxHaskell. It didn't work right out of the box for me (test applications would die with obscure messages) and I couldn't find online help on what I was doing wrong.
Eventually, I managed to make it work (or at least now simple test applications don't die (tested on os x only)) and although it took me a while to figure it out, all you have to do is: i) ensure you enable support for stc when building wxwidgets (passing --with-stc to configure) ii) use flag --ghc-options=-DwxUSE_STC=1 when installing wxcore (apparently, it is not being defined anymore in wx/setup.h) iii) use $(wx-config --libs std,stc) when linking Now, I really don't know if this was a known issue, if I stumbled with a documentation problem, or a configuration bug in the cabalized wxhaskell, all/none of the above or what. My impression is that it is mostly a configuration problem and I thought I might send a patch for wxcore/Setup.hs, but I'm not sure if this is the case or even what the status of stc is wrt wxhaskell (I think I saw a mail from November where it was suggested that stc would be moved to a separate package). So, the question is, is there something I can do to help other people having a merrier experience trying stc next time? :) Thanks, Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ wxhaskell-devel mailing list wxhaskell-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wxhaskell-devel
