Good weekend ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Baumgartner To: beginners@haskell.org Cc: Patrick Lynch Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] gtk2hs [GIMP ToolKit] Hi Patrick, I used the same link to install gtk2hs on Windows XP with Haskell Platform 2010.2.0 about 3 days ago. I'm a beginner as well. I had a number of problems. In the end, I managed to install version 0.11 with some extra-work: - I added HaskellPlatform/2010.2.0.0/mingw/bin to the PATH (because there is my only current gcc.exe) - ugly: I copied Gtk+/include/glib-2.0 to a temp folder and copied this again *into* Gtk+/include/glib-2.0 (the output of pkg-config looked alright...) - I repeated the previous steps for other include folders as well Note: in order to install a specific version of a package you can e.g. cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools-0.11.2 Installation of 0.12. failed with the following error: [ 5 of 24] Compiling System.GIO.Volumes.VolumeMonitor ( dist\build\System\GIO\Volumes\VolumeMonitor.hs, dist\build\System\GIO\Volumes\VolumeMonitor.o ) System\GIO\Volumes\VolumeMonitor.chs:56:4: Not in scope: `vmDriveStopButton' Regards, Tim 2011/2/3 Patrick Lynch <kmandpjlynch@verizon.net> ...I'm going to try to install gtk2hs again... ...I'll be using the link http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs ...I'd appreciate any help... _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
