Install GTK on Windows
Hi, cafe, I know this has been treated many times, but I've tried install GTK so hard without any success that I decided to ask for help. Firstly, I followed the instructions listed in HaskellWiki [1]. No results. Then, I followed the instruction from the Mark Shroyer blog [2]. No results. I did some mixing of the two guides, too, but my error was always the same: Configuring cairo-0.12.0... [...] setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries: * Missing C libraries: z, cairo Configuring glib-0.12.0... [...] setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries: * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, gthread-2.0, glib-2.0, intl I've searched for these libraries, and, with --extra-include-dirs=, I've included them. But the same error was thrown. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong or, perhaps, I'm missing something. Any help is welcomed! Thanks in advance, Daniel Díaz References: [1] http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs [2] http://markshroyer.com/2010/10/gtk2hs-on-windows/
Hi Daniel, Gtk2hs site is down by move server, sadly. The document on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs is wrong. http://markshroyer.com/2010/10/gtk2hs-on-windows/ is right.
From your error, you missing C libraries that gtk2hs need, or you have install GTK+ C library, but gtk2hs can't find those libraries somehow (such as wrong configure ...)
The right way is :
1) Install GTK+ all-in-one bundle (Include C library)
2) Very import, add GTK+ C library and Cabal bin path add in environment variable PATH
3) Then do "cabal update && cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools && cabal install gtk"
I'm not Windows guy, but almost like above.
I will find time re-build gtk2hs site and
provide Windows Installer (But i can't promise when, i'm so busy)
Hope above will help you. :)

Thanks for the responses, but my error remains. I wrote two scripts, following both different instructions. Script 1: @echo off title GTK Haskell Setup echo * Add GTK bin folder. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\GTKAIO\bin echo * Add GTK include folder. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\GTKAIO\include echo * Add GTK lib folder. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\GTKAIO\lib echo * Add Cabal bin folder. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Datos de programa\cabal\bin echo * Add mingw folder. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Archivos de programa\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin echo * Value of PATH. echo %PATH% echo * Install GTK buildtools. cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools echo * Install GTK. cabal install gtk Script 2: @echo off title GTK Haskell Setup echo * Add pkgconfig directory for libxml. set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=%PKG_CONFIG_PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\libmxl2\libxml2-dev_2.7.7-1_win32\lib\pkgconfig echo * Add include directory for libxml. set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\libmxl2\libxml2-dev_2.7.7-1_win32\include echo * Add pkgconfig directory for GTK. set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=%PKG_CONFIG_PATH%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig echo * Add libglade directory. set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Documents and Settings\User\Escritorio\GTK\Gtk+\include\libglade-2.0 echo * Value of PATH. echo %PATH% echo * Value of INCLUDE echo %INCLUDE% echo * Value of PKG_CONFIG_PATH echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH% echo * Install GTK buildtools. cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools echo * Install GTK. cabal install gtk In the script 1, GTKAIO is the folder where I installed the GTK All In One. Apparently, I followed your instructions. Otherwise, what's wrong?
In my experience cross platform tools do not work in the presence of spaces
in paths. Because of this when on Windows I have the habit of putting any
cross platform libraries or tools in a non-spaced path. Another option
could be to use the short path names when setting the PATH. GHC and cabal
do not appear to have this problem (fortunately).

Spaces are not a problem for me. I can, for example, run the gtk-demo without problems. I avoid, when it's possible, to write spaces in my folder and file names, but I think the problem here is another. Anyway, I will test it. -- Daniel Díaz
Hi all, I'd just like to add that I succeeded in building gtk2hs in Windows XP 64bit with GHC 7.0.2, using the 2.16 bundle from [1] and following the instructions in [2]. However, running the test program of [2] still fails at runtime with "The procedure entry point g_assertion_message_expr could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0.0.dll". Any idea what could cause this? Do I need to add -l something when compiling the program? Thanks, Pedro [1] http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html [2] http://markshroyer.com/2010/10/gtk2hs-on-windows/
Hi Pedro,
Perhaps the libglib-2.0.0.dll that is getting loaded is not the one you
want. You should be able to use a tool like process explorer [1] to see
which specific dlls are getting loaded when you run.

Thanks, that worked! First it was loading stuff from graphviz, and then from
sysWOW64... now I finally run threadscope :-)
Cheers,

Hi Daniel,
What is the value of PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH and INCLUDE in the shell
from which you are invoking "cabal install ..."?

Maybe it's erroring out because you have C:\gtk\bin and C:\Documents
...\gtk+bundle...\bin in the same path. You shouldn't need both. I
also don't see any path that mentions the libxml libraries which you
will eventually need.
When I installed GTK on Windows 7 I also followed the blog post you
mention but found that the instructions didn't totally work for me
completely. That is why I documented my experiences on the Wiki. So
IMHO you do need INCLUDE and PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
That said I wrote those instructions based on *one* install so they
might well be wrong. I know it's confusing having two sets of
conflicting instructions but I suggest you follow one to completion,
and if it doesn't work, back out the conflicting changes and follow
the other.

I have installed successfully the gtk package on Windows. GTK version: 2.16 gtk package version: 0.12.0 Haskell Platform version: 2010.2.0.0 I have detailed my steps (very similar to Mark Shroyer steps) here: http://deltadiaz.blogspot.com/2011/03/on-windows-how-to-install-gtk.html It seems that my error comes from an space in the path of gtk, and later, from my version of the Haskell Platform (cabal version, I guess). In brief: 1) Install Haskell Platform, version 2010.2.0.0. 2) Download and unpack gtk all-in-one bundle, version 2.16. Path without spaces. 3) Add gtk/bin and mingw/bin to the PATH environment variable. 4) Install gtk2hs-buildtools. 5) Install gtk. And it works!
