This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it. This page records some user experiences building wxHaskell on Linux. It should be fleshed out now that wxHaskell 0.12 has been released.

Sources

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

Gentoo

emerge -a dev-haskell/wxhaskell

Fedora Core 6

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)

 ==== Sources ====
-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''
-For more detailed information, see [http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.4/install-motif-2.6.4.txt Installing wxWidgets 2.6.3 on Motif],  [http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.4/install-gtk-2.6.4.txt Installing wxWidgets 2.6 on GTK+], or [http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.4/install-x11-2.6.4.txt Installing wxWidgets 2.6.4 on X11].

-# get wxWidgets 2.6
-#* <code>aptitude install libwxgtk2.6-dev</code>
-# obtain the wxhaskell-bin-debian-gtk2.6.3-ghc6.6-0.10.3.deb package from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73133 sourceforge]

+This may be the cause of your error when building `wxcore` if the build fails when unable to find
-You may need to add /usr/local/lib to your library search path. You can do that by making a file called /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr_local.conf containing:
+<code>
- /usr/local/lib
+libwx_gtk2u_media
+</code>
+Install the WxWidgets library as instructed in [http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Installing_and_configuring_under_Ubuntu#Using_other_packages Installing on Ubuntu/Debian]
-after adding the file, run ldconfig.

-<code>ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge wxhaskell</code>

-* Installing wxGTK:
-** <code>yum install wxGTK-devel</code>
-* Getting the sources:
-** <code>darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell</code>
-* Configuring, building and installing:
