I am building with " cabal sandbox init ; cabal install hs-fltk ". Logs attached. Any advice?
The only problem i had (other than i was missing a lot of graphics libraries) was needing to use fltk 1.3.3. There's a link on the instruction page. I'm not sure that will fix your problem, but i definitely had some issues which were fixed by using that particular version even though i had 1.3 installed. Brian

I already use fltk 1.3.3. :-(
There's a link on the instruction page.
Which page? I can't see it on the hackage project page and the "Home Page" link there gives me "Page not found". :-( :-( The *.cabal says "tested with: GHC==6.8.2". I am using GHC-7.8.4 . The error message suggests enabling FlexibleInstances which isn't in the *.cabal or the *.hs . Regards, Jeremy Henty

Hi Jeremy,
I recommend you try 'fltkhs' (http://github.com/deech/fltkhs). It has a
larger widget set and is being actively developed. I can also help you if
you're having difficulty installing it.

Is that the project that was recently announced on this list? Then it's the one I *meant* to use. I wondered why I was working with something so old! <facepalm/> autoconf fails with ... configure.ac:35: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. ... but generates a configure script anyway. configure warns ... ./configure: line 3906: AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL: command not found ... then fails with ... config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in' autoconf is version 2.68 . FLTK is version 1.3.3 and is detected by configure. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Ok, in doing some research it appears as though AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL is
sometimes not installed. Could you delete line 35 in 'configure.ac` and try
again? If that works I'll update the docs.
Thanks!

Yes, deleting that lines fixes the problems I reported. Thanks for your help! Regards, Jeremy Henty
