[Gtk2hs-users] ghci-5.04.3 and ghc-6.0

[Jens P. <pet...@re...>]

Hi,

Did anyone ever manage to get gtk2hs working with ghci-5.04.3?
When I try to load it I get:

% ghci-5.04.3 -package gtk2
:
:
Loading package data ... linking ... done.
Loading package gtk2 ...
 
GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for
symbol
   __stginit_Arrow
whilst processing object file
   /usr/lib/ghc-5.04.3/gtk2hs/gtk2hs.o
This could be caused by:
:
:

I'm pretty sure this is a known problem - not sure if it has ever worked
with gtk2hs?  I see that __stginit_Arrow is also defined in HSdata.o,
but I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is?


I tried a little to get gtk2hs to build with ghc-6.0, but only got to:

abstract/Object.hs:121:
    Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: GObject
    When checking declaration:
	foreign import ccall unsafe "static  &g_object_set_property" g_object_set_property :: (GObject)
											      -> ((Ptr CChar)
												  -> ((GValue)
												      -> (IO ())))

seems the FFI in 6.0 doesn't like GObject...
