Re: GUI (was: Re: [Haskell-cafe] DLL on Windows)

Hi, I thought this thread suggested that a cabal install wx would now work? I just tried it and got: ... generated 2439 constant definitions ok. setup.exe: wx-config: does not exist cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: wx-0.12.1.4 depends on wxcore-0.12.1.4 which failed to install. wxcore-0.12.1.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 If wxHaskell could be installed with one cabal command that would be incredibly cool :-) Thanks, Neil On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 6:26 PM, Jeremy O'Donoghue wrote:

You're probably correct about the dependencies. I have never tried to compile wxHaskell against GHC 6.12.1 [snip]

Beating a dead horse, but today I decided to see whether I could install wxHaskell, all it took was a few edits in some .cabal files and one in wxcore's Setup to make it all build with 6.12.1. Still, it's annoying because you have to unpack everything, edit and cabal install in the unpacked directories.

Now since I did that, I could upload new verxions of wxdirect, wxcore and wx to hackage, so others could do a simple cabal install wx.

Thanks for doing this: it's great news for everyone who is on GHC 6.12.x.

But I would only do that if I get a go-ahead from somebody authorised (since Jeremy uploaded the previous versions, he'd be qualified, I think).

You're right - I'm probably as qualified as anyone! I've found that if a Cabal build works for one person, it's pretty reliable for all (this is one of the joys of Cabal and (to a lesser extent) the Haskell Platform.

I'm quite happy for you to upload updates to Cabal. I'll pull them next week and make sure that they get merged to the wxHaskell darcs repo. If there are any reports of issues with the uploaded version (which I doubt) I'll look into them, so you're not taking on any long-term support burden.

...

Or I could send the edits to Jeremy and let him do the uploading, whatever is preferred.

I have no strong preference - the only thing I want to be sure of is that the darcs repo stays closely in sync with whatever is in Cabal. If you are OK with doing the upload, that's great. Otherwise I'll be very happy to do it based on your patches.
