Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #3 on issue 352 by SpencerJanssen: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 Building against darcs X11 is not supported. I will push the necessary xmonad patches when a new X11 release has been made. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #4 on issue 352 by ivan.miljenovic: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 Is this always going to be the case? Until now, the Gentoo ebuild for xmonad-darcs (and xmonad-contrib-darcs) has specified using the x11-darcs package rather than a stable release of X11. If your new policy is going to be that even the darcs repository for XMonad will always use a released version of X11, then this will make our job easier. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #5 on issue 352 by allbery.b: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 This isn't a new policy, or even the first time changes to darcs x11 have broken xmonad. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #6 on issue 352 by ivan.miljenovic: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 Hmmm.... I thought that darcs XMonad _needed_ darcs X11 (wasn't the change in the latest X11 release used by darcs XMonad before X11 was released?). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #7 on issue 352 by wei.hoo: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 @vogt.adam But the released X11 doesn't build with ghc-6.12. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #8 on issue 352 by vogt.adam: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 That's because the hsc2hs shipped with 6.12 doesn't like non-ascii characters in comments for some reason. One of the patches in X11 does fix this, so you'd have to pull all patches except the one that breaks xmonad compatibility. So as-is, our ghc-6.12 compatibility is broken. What's our timeline for fixing this, either by: - pushing the patch substituting 0 for '\NULL' in xmonad - bump X11 version without a release, and then do some conditional compilation to support both X11 versions - release X11, and don't bother with supporting more than one X11 library version -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #9 on issue 352 by SpencerJanssen: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 I just released X11 1.5.0.0, which should build on GHC 6.12. Corresponding compatibility patches have been pushed for xmonad. To clarify, xmonad's current policy is to build against released versions of X11 only. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #10 on issue 352 by leah.ho: Fail to build with darcs X11 binding http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=352 It looks to me like xmonad 0.9.1 has the compatibility patches you mention, but 0.9 does not -- it failed with this error for me. 0.9 is what's linked from http://xmonad.org/download.html, should that be updated? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
