Built wxGTK-2.6.4 from sources with the configuration:

-
<code>/usr/local/src/wxGTK-2.6.4/mybuild$ ../configure --enable-sound --enable-unicode</code>
 
-
 
-
Add <code>/usr/local/lib</code> to your <code>/etc/ld.so.conf</code> before running <code>sudo ldconfig</code> after installing wxGTK.
 
-
 
-
Build wxHaskell from the darcs repository, configured with <code>./configure --enable-split-objs -hcprof</code>, and follow the usual installation documentation from here on. The --enable-split-objs and -hcprof options are not mandatory, but they are nice to have

:''Note 2008-02-20: there was a bug that made --with-opengl necessary on some systems (depending on how wxWidgets was built), but it has been fixed''

2 Debian and Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install libglu-dev
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev

Debian has removed a dependency on gstreamer and gconf2.0 in their WxWidgets packages.

This may be the cause of your error when building `wxcore` if the build fails when unable to find

libwx_gtk2u_media

Install the WxWidgets library as instructed in Installing on Ubuntu/Debian

3 Gentoo

emerge -a dev-haskell/wxhaskell

4 Fedora Core 6

5 Arch Linux

The PKGBUILD file for wxgtk-2.9 on AUR passes --disable-compat28 to configure which breaks wxc-0.90.0.3. After removing that option, everything builds fine. (as of 2012-06-14)
