Hi Dmitri,
I built gtk2hs on Windows with GHC 6.6.1 and gtk2hs-0.9.11. Here's are the steps that worked for me: (not sure I didn't missed some)
First you need to install a GTK+ development package for windows. I think mine comes from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/wfdownloads/
Then you must have MSYS and MinGW installed on your computer. You'll find information on how to install this here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows.
Once you've installed that stuff you can start a MSYS shell. You'll need to set some environment variables for GTK (adapt to your path): export GTK_BASEPATH=/c/GTK_2.0 export GTK_CONFIG_PATH=/c/GTK_2.0/lib/pkgconfig
Cd to the gtk2hs source directory and type: ./configure --prefix=/c/Progra~1/Haskell make make install
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Olivier.
Oliver, thanks! I tried that, yet have some problems. I use: GHC 6.6.1, current development version of Gtk2hs (not sure what version), Gtk+ 2.10.11 (Win32) and latest available from MinGW distributions: MSYS-1.0.10.exe msysDTK-1.0.1.exe msys-autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2 msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2 msys-libtool-1.5.tar.bz2 Problem 1. Gtk2hs build requires to run autoreconf. So in MSYS I have: $ autoreconf /usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: warning: underquoted definition of AG_PATH_AUTOOPTS run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending%20aclocal configure.ac:101: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 Notwithstanding this error autoreconf creates configure script. When I run it I get: Problem 2. $ ./configure --with-hc=/c/usr/ghc-6.6.1 --prefix=/c/usr/ghc-6.6.1 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH Questions: 1) Should I ignore autoreconf errors? 2) I thought that building Gtk2hs is done with GHC only. Is it right that build requires C compiler? 3) Any other ideas what is wrong with this build? Thanks! -- Dmitri O. Kondratiev dokondr@gmail.com http://www.geocities.com/dkondr
