Hi Venanzio, I found this to be working: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gtk As far as GUI toolkits are concerned, I have used gtk2hs myself (also being still quite a haskell beginner). I have used gtkmm from c++ before, which sure helps in understanding what's going on (doing things in Haskell is much more fun and more pleasing though). Haskell rocks!

Hi, I've been trying to find out what is the best GUI library to use for a Haskell beginner. At first I adopted gtk2hs and it was going well. But the web page for it has disappeared during the Haskell site migration. So now I don't have access to the documentation and the examples any more. Next I tried with wxHaskell, but unfortunately it doesn't install on Ubuntu (I checked on the mailing list: other people had the same problem and I don't understand the solution). Is there a library for GUI in Haskell that is simple to use and well supported, something that is user friendly for a beginner Haskell programmer? Best wishes, Venanzio

Hi Venanzio,

I found the following sites very helpful when trying to understand OpenGL + Haskell.

- http://blog.mikael.johanssons.org/archive/2006/09/opengl-programming-in-hask... - http://myawesomeblag.blogspot.com/2007/03/opengl-tetris-in-haskell.html

My site contains the commands I used to get everything install on Ubuntu, it also has a link to my code on it, but you'll find that the code is very similar to Mikael's above.

http://whatimean.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/simple-cell-automata-in-haskell/

Good luck.

Tom
