Re: [xmonad] Errors building Xmonad using Stack

21 Jul 2022

      Thanks,

In fact I was just reading 
https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/XMonad-Prompt-She... 
when I found your mail.

alain@keitai-kun:~/.config/xmonad$ Error: Can't open display:
xmonad --recompile
XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because neither 
"/home/alain/.config/xmonad/build" nor 
"/home/alain/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml" ex
ists.
XMonad recompiling (forced).
XMonad recompilation process exited with success!

Thanks for all the help.

Best regards,

Alain

All the various `default…` are being replaced by `def` which is
polymorphic. `defaultConfig` will follow them at some point, so you
might as well change that to `def` now as well.

You ran it in ~/.cabal so that (or ~/.ghc/<version>/environments) is
where the environment file will have been written. Rerun it from your
xmonad directory.
Figured it out.
`cabal install --lib X11` should be run at the same time as you build
xmonad and xmonad-contrib.
`cabal install --package-env=$HOME/.config/xmonad --lib xmonad
xmonad-contrib  X11`
I have still errors during the compilation:
xmonad.hs:52:46: error:

I have tried to replace defaultXPConfig by defaultConfig but it didn't work.
xmonad.hs is below
