Hi, "cabal install gtk" nicely detects the versions of my gtk related packages, but I now want to install the gtk haskell packages for a lower version of gtk+-2.0 for more portability when copying binaries or mirroring installations. For example my gtk haskell package built for gtk+-2.0 version 2.20.1 is unusable on a machine with gtk+-2.0 version 2.18.x. (It produces link errors.) Is there a simple way to achieve this? Thanks Christian |

But it turned out that building the older libraries was very difficult with a recent linux distribution. This wasn't a gtk/glib related issue but more one of the supporting libraries. Getting gtk2hs to work on lower version "only" requires the addition of certain #ifdef clauses. We're always glad for a patch since we really want to make the base packages buildable starting from version 2.8 of Gtk+.
