cabal-make for base libs etc
by Conal Elliott 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

I'd love to have friendlier haddock docs for the base libs and other libraries that I use & peruse. Specifically, I'd like per-entity source code links and syntax-colored source code. This sort of friendliness is what cabal-make <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal-make> make easy & consistent. Has anyone else tried cabal-make yet? Are there any obstacles to wanting to use it? Cheers, - Conal

With darcs there is no need to have all the development be done in a central repository, right? One can create a parallel repository for particular development goals, and move changes into the central repository as needed. This is the model used for Linux kernel development. Guess it is not always easy for individual developers to give access to their repositories, and to keep darcs server running all the time. Do you suggest that haskell.org would host such parallel repositories? BTW, you can also attach module source, patch, haddock output files to the ticket, and just publish URLs to them. Wonder if that can make work on this module somewhat easier. Andriy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

ANNOUNCE: Gtk2Hs version 0.9.11 released
by Duncan Coutts 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Gtk2Hs - A GUI Library for Haskell based on Gtk+ Version 0.9.11 is now available from: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/download/ The source tarball and an installer for Windows are available. Packages are available for Gentoo and FreeBSD. Packages for various other platforms should become available soon (hopefully including Fedora, Debian and Darwin). Changes since 0.9.10: * works with GHC 6.6 and Gtk+ 2.10.x * new typed tree/list widget API * new OpenGL widget added * new cairo SVG package (for rendering SVG images on cairo surfaces) * new implementation of the Graphics.SOE API * new glade tutorial * many more demo programs (clock, graph, traffic congestion sim, fonts, noughts & crosses, opengl, svg and updated profile viewer and other tree/list demos) * much smaller binaries (thanks to the ghc 'split objs' feature) * many bugs fixed * new functions for working with the threaded RTS * various minor documentation improvements Gtk2Hs feature highlights: * automatic memory management * Unicode support * nearly full coverage of Gtk+ 2.8 API * support for several additional Gtk+/Gnome modules: * Glade visual GUI builder * cairo vector graphics library * SVG rendering for cairo * OpenGL extension (works with HOpenGL) * GConf, Gnome's system for storing app preferences * SourceView, code editor widget with syntax highlighting * the Mozilla browser rendering engine in a widget * an implementation of the Graphics.SOE API * extensive haddock API reference documentation * multi-platform support with native look * LGPL licence Platforms and requirements: * builds from source on Linux, Windows, MacOS X, FreeBSD and Solaris * builds with GHC 6.2 - 6.6 * works with Gtk+ version 2.0 through to 2.10 * SVG support requires librsvg version 2.16 or later Please report all problems to gtk2hs-devel(a)sourceforge.net Contributions and feedback are also most welcome. Windows release notes: The installer expects GHC 6.6 or 6.4.2. Support for GHCi is only available with GHC-6.6. Profiling libs are included (though you do not need to install them if you want to save disk space) The installer now comes bundled with Gtk+ itself so there's no need to download it separately. Hopefully this should also make the installation process a bit more reliable if only by reducing the number of configuration combinations. The windows build does not include the svgcairo, sourceview, gconf or mozembed packages since they introduce rather a large number of dependencies and would make the installer a much bigger download.

Re: [Haskell] Haskell Xlib bindings

[ moved to libraries list ] Am Montag, 5. Februar 2007 00:15 schrieb Duncan Coutts: > [...] Perhaps these days binding xcb might be the way to go for low level > X11 stuff. I had a look and XCB, and it looks quite promising as a "better Xlib". What is not so clear to me is: * X.Org seems to use it as a basis for their Xlib implementation. Is this correct? * What about XFree86? * What about X11 implementations on *BSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.? * Is XCB 100% feature-complete compared to Xlib? I guess that XCB is not widespread enough yet to drop the X11 package now, but I'd like to hear what others think. OTOH, a Haskell binding for XCB can probably be generated automatically to a large degree via XSLT, if I understand things correctly, which would be a big plus. Cheers, S.

time package needs a tiny README file
by Bryan O'Sullivan 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Hello, Ashley - There's a bug open against ghc 6.6 regarding the time package, which notes that it doesn't install HsTime.h or HsTimeConfig.h when being installed. If one already has a copy of the time darcs repo, it's still not obvious how to build it. Please add a README with something like the following instructions, as a bit of Googling shows that I am not the first person to have spent a few minutes confused by this: To build the time package, you must have GNU autoconf installed. Run "autoreconf" before the usual Cabal build steps (configure/build/install). There is no need to run the "configure" script; the Cabal build process will do this for you. Thank you for your help, <b
