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 )

Thanks for your support... I'd appreciate any help - I don't know what else to do with this... This is what I did so far: 1. I followed your wiki 2. I opened Command window and entered the command: cabal install gtk 3. It returned the error messages: * Missing C libraries: z, cairo * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl 4. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" --extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" This returned the same error messages as indicated in step 3 above. 5. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files (x86)/Gtk+/include" --extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files (x86)/Gtk+/include" This also returns the Step 3 errors... 6. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" --extra-lib-dirs="c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib" 7. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib" --extra-lib-dirs="c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib" These also return the Step 3 errors... Note: I can not find library 'z'. Note: the Cairo directory is in the following: c:\Program Files\Gtk+\include\cairo c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\include\cairo Note: gobject-2.0 library could not be found - but there is a file named c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib\glib-2.0.lib" [it is also on Program Files (x86)].

Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if gtk2hs-buildtools installed successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for the current user.

Good luck Tim

For the environment vars I'd like to see what the DOS prompt thinks they are, so can you give me the output of, echo %PATH%, echo %INCLUDE% and echo %PKG_CONFIG% ? -deech On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 11:31 AM, aditya siram wrote:

The paths look ok from here. Please uninstall both your Gtk+ installations and reinstall just one. Then make sure your INCLUDE and PKG_CONFIG_PATH refer to it. It's possible you're referring to the 'bin' of one while trying to use the 'include' and 'pkgconfig' of the other. -deech On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 11:56 AM, Patrick Lynch wrote:

It returned the error messages: * Missing C libraries: z, cairo * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl 4. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" --extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" This returned the same error messages as indicated in step 3 above.

Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if gtk2hs-buildtools installed successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for the current user.

Good luck Tim

I reinstalled Gtk* but switched the folder from Program Files (x86) to Program Files... I changed all my environment variables to remove Program Files (x86)... Unfortunately, it once again doesn't see the five original directories...see following: * Missing C libraries: z, cairo * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl Got me...it seems like the cabal system should know where everything is going to be installed - then it should only have a dependency on the environment variables if it can't find its files in the default locations... Do you think it would be worthwhile trying an installation using Program Files (x86) rather than Program Files [remember, on my PC , when doing the gtk installation it wants to do it in Program Files (x86)] Good weekend On 2/5/2011 2:38 PM, Patrick Lynch wrote:

Hi Patrick, 2011/2/5 Patrick Lynch

I reinstalled Gtk* but switched the folder from Program Files (x86) to Program Files...

I'm sorry, you misunderstood me. Please make sure you read my second last post about "Program Files" on Windows 7. I *think* it's no good idea to have both "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" folders. Type dir c:\ in the console. Then you see the *real* folders, unsugared. In Windows explorer or other dialogs, they are sugared, i.e. "Program Files (x86)" may appear as "Program Files". When you refer to them in Environment variables, I *guess* you have to use the *real* names again, like printed in the console. But I currently cannot verify this because at home I have only Win XP. But a little experiment should help you there. When I wrote "pkg-config.exe should be in C:\Program Files\Gtk+\bin" in my last post, I meant the bin folder of the Gtk+ installation, no matter where it is in your installation. Regards Tim

I changed all my environment variables to remove Program Files (x86)...

Unfortunately, it once again doesn't see the five original directories...see following:

* Missing C libraries: z, cairo * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl

Got me...it seems like the cabal system should know where everything is going to be installed - then it should only have a dependency on the environment variables if it can't find its files in the default locations...

Do you think it would be worthwhile trying an installation using Program Files (x86) rather than Program Files [remember, on my PC , when doing the gtk installation it wants to do it in Program Files (x86)]

Hi Patrick, 2011/2/5 Patrick Lynch

I did the dir c:\ and it shows both Program Files and Program Files (86)

As I expected. Please have a look inside them. The one ending (x86) is definitely necessary to be there but I can imagine that the other one's existence is a simple accident... If so, then you should remove it. Perhaps you have installed a few apps into it. I suggest you consider to reinstall them to the other folder in order to avoid even more confusion later on. Good luck! Tim

Maybe you shouldn't be so hasty, from what I can see on my Windows 7, both Program Files and its (x86) variant are real folders, one is for 64-bits applications while the other contains all the applications that are still in 32 bits, I don't think it's a good idea to just delete one...

Indeed, having both folders is normal for Windows 7, 64-bit systems. The only thing that is a bit confusing at times is that 32-bit processes will 'see' "Program Files (x86)" as just "Program Files" and will not 'see' "Program Files" (the real one) at all.

Why do you even have a Program Files (x86) folder? Is this a Windows XP thing? In any case did you install mingw? You should install it fresh form the link on the wiki and not depend on the one provided with Haskell Platform. This should provide the needed version of pkg-config. -deech On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 1:09 PM, Patrick Lynch wrote:

    As fro the environment variables, they are [note: each directory is on a separate line]:         echo %PATH%             C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell\bin;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\bin;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\bin;             C:\Windows\system32;             C:\Windows;             C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\DLLShared\;             C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin;             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\bin;C:\Users\User;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\bin;             c:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\share\gettext         echo %INCLUDE%             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\include\libglade-2.0;             c:\users\user\downloads\libxml2-2.2.7-1_win32\include;             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\include;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\include         echo %PKG_CONFIG%    [presumably this should be PKG_CONFIG_PATH, since PKG_CONFIG is not used]: echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH%             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig;             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig\include;             c:\users\user\downloads\libxml2-2.2.7-1_win32\lib\pkgconfig         echo %LIB% [added just for sake of completeness]:             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib;             C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib

Why do you have Gtk+ in two folders? Did you somehow install it twice? Also what's in the following environment variable: PATH, INCLUDE, PKG_CONFIG

Good afternoon:

    Step 1 ['cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools'] ran successfully.

    This is what 'echo %lib%' gives:             C:\Users\User>echo %lib%             C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk+\lib

      This is what pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 gives:             C:\Users\User>pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0             2.16.2

Thanks again

Hi Patrick,

2011/2/5 Patrick Lynch

This is what I did so far:   1. I followed your wiki   2. I opened Command window and entered the command: cabal install gtk   3. It returned the error messages:           * Missing C libraries: z, cairo           * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl   4. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk --extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include" --extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include"       This returned the same error messages as indicated in step 3 above.

Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if gtk2hs-buildtools installed successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for the current user.

Good luck Tim

Program Files (x86) is a Windows thing...it is used to separate 32 bit and 64 bit apps...

In regard to installing mingw, I checked the site and haven't a clue on how to download it... I'm not a unix guy and i haven't a clue as to what a 'tarball' is... I'd appreciate any help...

mingw only runs on Windows, because it's the minimalistic GNU for *Windows* A GUI installer is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mi... Regards Tim

Hi Patrick, I have only used Windows 7 for some minutes but I think "C:\Program Files" is only symbolic there, displayed in the UI and translated to different languages. But on disk I think it's always "C:\Program Files (x86)", regardless of the language. Therefore it's possible to create anoter folder "C:\Program Files". Then both folders look same in the UI but are different on disk. I think it's a bad idea to do this. If you have done so (or an application did without being asked), perhaps removing the additional folder is an option that helps to prevent further confusion... Regards Tim

...i'm running into the same problem... ...i ran the command: cabal install gtk... ...it can't find the folders: Z, CAIRO, GOBJECT-2.0, GLIB-2.0, INTL. ...however, they are all, with the exception of Z and possibly GOBJECT-2.0 - there is no folder for this but there is a library file for it, in Program Files and surprisingly also in Program Files (X86)... ...i'm a bit confused about my %PATH% setting, it is different in the Advanced system settings from what is displayed by echo %PATH% in the Command window - see following...

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 ...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
