L.S., I am happy to announce a new version of wxHaskell. This version binds to wxWidgets 2.9 [0]. What is it? ----------- wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell. The goal of the project is to provide an industrial strength GUI library for Haskell, but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves. wxHaskell is therefore built on top of wxWidgets – a comprehensive C++ library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK, Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with the native look-and-feel. What's new? ----------- - Added functionality: wxGrid: cell spans, cell renderers (numeric, auto string wrapping), wxScrolledWindow, wxSplitterWindow - Reanimated wxToggleButton, added wxBitmapToggleButton - Solved problem with spaces in pathnames (installation procedure, Windows) - Increased max version of dependencies - The external preprocessor (CPP) is now used - The presence of the wx-config executable is checked at installation time - The bitness of the wxWidgets dynamic libraries is compared to the bitness of the wxHaskell libraries to generate, at installation time; a warning is given when the bitness is incompatible - Documentation improvements - Bugs fixed Links ----- See the homepage of wxHaskell for more information: https://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell The packages are: - wxc https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wxc - wxdirect https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wxdirect - wxcore https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wxcore - wx https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wx Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl [0] https://www.wxwidgets.org/ -- Folding@home What if you could share your unused computer power to help find a cure?

Hi Henk-Jan,
I am happy to announce a new version of wxHaskell. This version binds to wxWidgets 2.9 [0].
unfortunately, the files in the release tarball found on Hackage claim to be from the year 2029, which causes some trouble when trying to build this package: http://hydra.cryp.to/build/43757/nixlog/7/raw. Take care, Peter

L.S.,
I am happy to announce a new version of wxHaskell. This version binds to wxWidgets 2.9 [0].
I tried an install - got some strange errors, so cleaned out my Haskell installation using uninstall-hs, re-installed latest platform Edited .cabal/config to have global installation and to use sudo when required cabal update cabal install cabal-install cabal install wx cacal-macosx (on Mac OS X 9.2, by the way) Both cabal-install and wx were reported as being installed , but in both cases it ended with an error message like this: —— console log excerpt starts —— Installed wx-0.90.1.0 Error while Error while updating world-file. : /Users/butrfeld/Library/Haskell/logs/world: openFile: permission denied (Permission denied) Warning: could not create a symlink in /Users/butrfeld/Library/Haskell/bin for wxdirect because the file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You can create a symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable file has been installed at /Library/Haskell/ghc-7.6.3/lib/wxdirect-0.90.1.1/bin/wxdirect — console log ecxeprt ends —— Can i ignore these, or do I need to fix something? like the symlink that is mentioned? (PS - I also did the ghc-clang-wrapper thing…) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Butterfield Tel: +353-1-896-2517 Fax: +353-1-677-2204 Lero@TCD, Head of Foundations & Methods Research Group Director of Teaching and Learning - Undergraduate, School of Computer Science and Statistics, Room G.39, O'Reilly Institute, Trinity College, University of Dublin http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
