Re: [Haskell-cafe] OS X build failure of Gtk2Hs from MacPorts

I personally spurned MacPorts for this reason (and others). I've had good success using the GTK+ Aqua framework from http://www.gtk- osx.org/ and manually compiling pkg-config and gtk2hs from the darcs repository. The only "trick" was to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately before running gtk2hs' configure script: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/ Cairo.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/ GLib.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/ Gtk.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig Also had to --disable-gio to gtk2hs' configure. -Ross On Jan 17, 2009, at 5:58 PM, Jeff Heard wrote:

That would probably be the problem, then, yes. I'm still using GHC 6.8.3 in most of my code, but MacPorts doesn't respect the existing installation of GHC 6.8.3 that I installed via the DMG package on http://haskell.org/ghc

Jeff,

I'm not sure if this is causing the problem you're referring to, but MacPorts is at GHC 6.10 while Gtk2Hs doesn't support that yet.
