I am trying to statically link Gtk2Hs applications. ...
For anyone new to using [Haskell + Gtk2Hs + MS Windows], who, like me, is inclined to try to statically link the Windows binary (as I described in this thread), I've done some more research and came across this post: Re: [Gtk2hs-users] Making a static Windows executable with gtk2hs http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1254152484.4588.632.ca... The gist is that, as desirable as it might seem to try to do so, it's just not a good idea, and things are going to work better overall relying on the DLLs. In the past, I had not noticed that http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk2hs/ had a mailing list associated with it. I'm glad I found it. (and if this "don't statically link Windows Gtk2Hs binaries" advice is no longer current, please post. Thanks.) Hope this helps, -- Peter (keywords: Haskell Gtk2Hs Gtk+ static statically link linking Windows binary binaries executable application)
