I had a try again at running the examples of reactive-banana-wx. I unpacked reactive-banana-wx-0.5.0.0. I have installed wx and wxcore version 0.13.1, that’s what I managed to install at some point (I think there were some issue with OSX Lion on previous versions). So I changed the cabal setup of reactive-banana-wx-0.5.0.0 to wx==0.13.1, wxcore==0.13.1 and then did 'cabal install -fbuildExamples’ and everything builds. Most of the examples run fine, although the resize of the window is completely hacky, all the widgets assume strange proportion and become almost unusable (http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1149/capturadeecr20120428s14.png) . The asteroids app (which was the one I wanted to have look at) the window becomes just a couple pixels, so I can’t see anything (http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1149/capturadeecr20120428s14.png). Is there a problem in using wx 0.13.1 ? Btw, wx 0.90 "Builds and runs cleanly on 64 bit platforms (particularly MacOS X Lion)”. Would reactive-banana-wx work with wx0.9.0 ?
Ah, it looks like your version of wx got linked with wxWidgets 2.9.3 instead of wxWidgets 2.8 . This introduces various issues, in particular the ones you ran into. If you just want to try a few examples with wxWidgets 2.9.3, you can install reactive-banana-0.6.0.0 and the corresponding -wx packages from the master branch at https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana This should work with wx-0.90 (though some examples crash), but I can't give any guarantees whether the official 0.6 version that I'm going to release on hackage will have the exact same API. That said, I'm basically just waiting for Jeremy to release a small patch to wx on hackage that fixes some of these issues (for instance the strangely minimized text entries and the crashes). After that, I'm going to release reactive-banana-0.6.0.0 that depends on wx-0.90. Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
