1 wxWidgets 2.9 and wxHaskell 0.90.x
| Windows | Haskell Platform | wxWidgets |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 2011.2.0.1 | 2.9.3 |
Prerequisites:
- MinGW
Environment variables:
- CABAL_DIR: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\cabal
- GHC_VERSION: 7.0.3 (for our convenience)
- WXC_VERSION: 0.90.0.2
- WXWIN: C:\wxWidgets-2.9.3
- WXCFG: gcc_dll\mswu
- PATH: (add these) %WXWIN%\lib\gcc_dll;%WXWIN%;%CABAL_DIR%\wxc-%WXC_VERSION%\%GHC_VERSION%
Steps:
- Download wxWidgets 2.9.3 source
- Extract to C:\wxWidgets-2.9.3
- Build wxWidgets-2.9.3
- Download wxHaskell source
- Build wx-config
cd %WXHASKELL_DIR%\wx-config-win\wx-config-win g++ wx-config.cpp -o wx-config.exe cp wx-config.exe %CABAL_DIR%\bin cabal install wxdirect cabal install wxc cabal install wxcore cabal install wx
2 wxWidgets 2.8 and wxHaskell 0.13.x
Follow SkyTreeBird's guide. It which walks you through the basic steps
- wx-config
- wxPack
- setting up environment variables
-
cabal install wx
Note that the best way to refer to WxWidgets in your PATH is probably to use the WXWIN variable that you set, eg. %WXWIN%/lib/gcc_dll
The guide has been tested with the following configurations. Others may work too:
| Windows | Haskell Platform | wxWidgets |
|---|---|---|
| XP | 2010.2.0.0 | 2.8.10 |
| 7 | 2011.2.0.1 | 2.8.12 |
2.1 Troubleshooting installation with cabal
These remarks refer to wx-0.13.2 and Haskell Platform 2011.4.0.0 on Windows 7.
Cabal package wx depends on wxcore which depends on wxdirect. By default cabal installs on a per user base, thus wxdirect.exe will be installed to c:\Users\<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin\. This folder must be in your PATH for cabal install wxcore to succeed.
Package wxcore-0.13.2 does not work well with wx-config revision 21 2006-10-19 (downloaded from here on Feb 2nd 2012). If cabal install wxcore fails with an output containing "Usage: wx-config [options]" try this:
-
cabal unpack wxcore -
cd wxcore-0.13.2 - edit
Setup.hsand comment out/remove the line containing"wx-config" ["--version"] -
runhaskell.exe Setup.hs configure --user -
runhaskell.exe Setup.hs build -
runhaskell.exe Setup.hs install
Finally call cabal install wx.
