Hi everyone. Im having some trouble with Gtk2Hs on Windows (Vista). I am running GHC-6.10. When I try to compile my hello world example, it complains about the import of Graphics.UI.Gtk and that it cannot find it. I have tried to search my filesystem for those files and directories and couldn't find them. I installed Gtk2Hs-0.9.13 (the installer did warn me that it detected GHC-6.10 and 6.8 was expected). When will we have a version of Gtk2Hs that works with GHC-6.10. Is there somewhere I can get the module files and put them in a specific directory which is in GHC's search path so that I can at least try to compile the app with GHC-6.10. I really want to use haskell and Gtk2Hs to write UI applications on windows. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards Rouan |

So, very, very soon. > Is there somewhere I can get the module files and put them in a specific directory which is in GHC's search path > so that I can at least try to compile the app with GHC-6.10. > No, sorry. If you are brave, you can try compiling the darcs repo at <http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs>. It should build just find on windows. You'll also need to get Mingw and MSYS, but other than that it should build easily. > I really want to use haskell and Gtk2Hs to write UI applications on windows. > That's great :) Pete |
