Thanks for the vote, Bulat. wxHaskell installs out of the box easily on Windows now. See http:// haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Building. The hardest part is building wxWidgets itself. Prerequisites are: - MinGW C++ compiler Make, with MSys shell (to build wxWidgets) - wx-config binary for Windows To build wxWidgets, download the Windows source package from wxWidgets. 1) You will need the Windows port of wx-config in your path. This can be downloaded from http://wxconfig.googlepages.com/ 2) You will need to compile wxWidgets using MSys. We have tested against MinGW 5.1.6 with g++ compiler, MinGW Make, MSYS-1.0.11, wxMSW-2.8.10, which are the latest versions, and can be downloaded from their respective websites. I used a completely clean install of the latest Haskell Platform to validate the procedure. Please note: all commands to be entered in an MSys shell. cd /c/path/to/wxWidgets-2.8.10/build/msw mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 set PATH=$PATH:/c/path/to/wx-config set WXWIN=/c/path/to/wxWidgets-2.8.10 set WXCFG=gcc_dll/mswu At this point you have installed and configured wxWidgets on Windows. The Haskell part is more or less trivial: cabal install wx I'd encourage you to try wxHaskell again, and let us know how you get on. Regards Jeremy -- Jeremy O'Donoghue jeremy.odonoghue@gmail.com
