Hi A. Mc.,

Just in case it helps:

Its perfectly fine to create a Haskell windows desktop application in Gtk. I've done it, and I deployed commercial desktop applications in the past (AFAIK, they were in production for over a decade without issues and they may still be used). Gtk has a mailing list that, as of last year, was still active: gtk2hs-users@lists.sourceforge.net. It's *very* low traffic.

If installing or getting gtk to work gives you headaches, you may want to consider Wx. I had some issues last time I tried wx on mac (IIRC 2020), but those issues may no longer be there.

If you have questions, feel free to drop me a line. I may not be able to spend time debugging low-level details, but I may be able to help if I hit the same roadblock.

Cheers

Ivan

standard Windows GUI. Perhaps someone did that already.

Hello,

I'm attempting to use GTK+3 to create a Desktop, but I am having a problem installing all of the dependencies. I keep getting the following error:

GUI cabal: version >=0.9.0 of pkg-config is required

I am using Cygwin on a Windows 10 operating system. What is

needed to fix this? Is this the best way to do a

desktop GUI in Haskell?

Thanks in advance and thank you for your time.
