'''Note:''' ''The Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 installer shipped without C++ support. If you want to build wxHaskell on Windows using this Haskell Platform, please see [http://wewantarock.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/haskell-platform-2010-1-0-0-and-wxhaskell-on-windows/]''
 
 
Using the MSYS shell, and making sure that you have the C++ compiler option installed for MinGW as it is 'not' the default:
 
 
> cd /c/path/to/wxWidgets-2.8.10/build/msw
 
> mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1
 
 
This will take quite some time and generate lots of text in the MSYS shell. Assuming it is successful, a DLL is generated in /c/path/to/wxWidgets/gcc_dll, which you will need to copy to a location where it can be found when running your executables.

Installing on Windows

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:

Windows Haskell Platform
XP 2010.2.0.0
7 2011.2.0.1
