Hi everybody, For those of you not following wxhaskell-devel: Brian Lewis has been doing which could make installing wxHaskell from source (and consequently install wxHaskell-based applications) a lot easier.
He has cleaned up our build infrastructure, replacing our configure script, makefile and trivial Cabal wrapper with a 100% Cabal based solution. This includes our wxc layer now specified through the 'c-sources' field in the cabal file. It seems to work for me and Brian. Could somebody else try it out, maybe somebody on Windows? Here's the procedure. 1. Install wxWidgets if you have not done so already. I never managed to use wxHaskell with the wxWidgets that comes with MacOS X Leopard. On the other hand, building one for source works a lot better. (don't forget --enable-unicode). I had a similar experience with Ubuntu Linux too. 2. Update your PATH so that the wx-config from your wxWidgets is in it 3. Download Brian Lewis's work and install it git clone git://github.com/bsl/wxdirect.git git clone git://github.com/bsl/wxcore.git darcs get http://code.haskell.org/wxhaskell cd wxdirect; cabal install; cd .. cd wxcore; cabal install; cd .. cd wxhaskell/wx; cabal install 4. Now try building a sample application and test it. It would also be great if some wxHaskell developers could comment! If this works out it means we get much easier wxHaskell installation. :-) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
