can anyone provide wxHaskell already compiled/compilable with ghc 6.6.1 on Windows?
This is precisely the reason I switched to Gtk2Hs - Duncan provides Windows installers as each new GHC release comes out. If wxHaskell wants to stand any chance as an alternative GUI framework there really _must_ be Windows binaries released concurrently with GHC versions...
i've taken a look at gtk2hs, but 2 reasons forced me to give wxHaskell a try:
- native appearance
I think that's pretty good these days, the native theme on Windows has been getting better and better from Gtk+ 2.6 to the current 2.10
- current lack of high-level properties machinery in gtk2hs
Actually Gtk2Hs and wxHaskell have a very similar properties api (they both stole it off of an older Haskell GUI lib) and we're planning to make further improvements to that in the current development cycle. Duncan
