Today I tried to install Gtk2hs. Big mistake! Last time I tried it, it was quite easy. Now that it uses Cabal, even on Windows you can compile this stuff from source fairly easily. It's just that you have to fiddle with environment variables to make it find stuff. However... 1. Since the move of haskell.org, the gtk2hs homepage has vanished off the face of the Earth. Is there any danger we might get this back some day? 2. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/gtk2hs/ticket/1203 (In other words, every time you try to cabal install a GTK-related package, it fails during the register step, and you need to hand-edit Gtk2HsSetup.hs to fix the issue.) 3. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/gtk2hs/ticket/1209 (In other words, certain GTK-related packages just plain fail to build due to undefined names or missing header files or...) In summary, it's just utterly broken. Which is very frustrating, given that not so long ago it was working really well. (I never did get Glade to work though... although it looks like that might be fixed now, if I could just get past all the other issues.)
