Hi Miguel! Thanks for the reply! Yes, I also took the latest darcs version of wxHaskell, HaXml 1.19.2, and polyparse. I had to do some minor tweaks to the Blobs source code (mainly Text.Parse stuff, no big deal really). I used wxGTK 2.6.4, --with-opengl and --disable-sharing (otherwise I got link errors when linking Blobs). However I'm using GHC 6.8.2 on Fedora 8. BTW what do you think is the best distro for doing Haskell development? Now I just switched from Windows to Linux, so this is all very very new to me. However I do like the Linux way of settings things up, so I'm planning to dig a bit deeper in the Linux world. Not easy because I know a lot about Windows development, so giving that up is hard. I'll take a look at the website you mentioned. The fact to you have it running gives me confidance it is possible :) Cheers, Peter On Thu, 2008-01-17 at 14:51 +0000, Miguel Vilaça wrote:

I'm trying to build http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/Blobs using GHC 6.8.2. It looks like a good Haskell program to learn from.
So far I managed to modify the source code so it makes use of the new HaXML libraries, and after a lot of hacking I could build and link to wxHaskell, but my app crashes (I do get a window however, woohoo)
Maybe someone else managed already?
Thanks, Peter

Hi Peter, I have Blobs compiling and running in my machine. Its an Kubuntu Gutsy with GHC 6.6.1 and HaXml 1.19.SOMETHING (I'm using a repository version but not yet the current one) This implies some minor changes that I've as local patches, that I can send to you as soon as I find how to get a file per patch from the repository.
The big issue is always to be able to get wxHaskell compiled and working properly. I'm currently using a recent (1 or 2 weeks old) version of wxHaskell from its official repository (darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell) and wxGTK 2.6.3
You can find more information in INblobs (INblobs is done on top of Bblobs) webpage : http://haskell.di.uminho.pt/jmvilaca/INblobs/ or in the wxHaskell mailing list wxhaskell-users@lists.sourceforge.net
What versions of wxWidgets are you using and in which platform?
best Miguel Vilaca
