Initial Comment: Hello, when trying to use wxhaskell on ghc-6.2.2 on an amd64 (unregistered gentoo build) the following happend: $ ./a.out a.out: internal error: adjustor creation not supported on this platform Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org, or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/ I'm not sure if this is a bug because amd64 is not officially supported. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=566359 Yes, this is just a "missing feature". A small piece of platform specific code (<50 lines) is required to get foreign import "wrapper" declarations to work, and wxhaskell uses them a lot. A volunteer who wants to fix this would need enough knowledge about assembly language in general to really understand a calling convention (literature on amd64's particular calling convention is available somewhere). Most of the amd64-specific details can be picked up on the job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=358032&aid=1097471&group_id=8032
