[Gtk2hs-users] Build question

[David D. <duk...@gm...>]

Hello I'm trying to build gtkglext on osx using ghc-8.8.3, I'm running into
some issues and wondered if you
could advise. I first tried gtkglext-0.13.2.0 from hackage but
then also tried cloning the github repo

 When I run configure cabal balked at my gtk version: 0.15.4
It has he constraint gtk < 0.15
Thinking that there might be few issues I edited the cabal file and bumped
the constrait.

I rerun configure and then ran build which seemed to go fine.
However when I then try to install:

cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:

[__0] trying: gtkglext-0.13.2.0 (user goal)

[__1] next goal: gtkglext:setup.Cabal (dependency of gtkglext)

[__1] rejecting: gtkglext:setup.Cabal-3.0.1.0/installed-3.0...,

gtkglext:setup.Cabal-3.2.0.0, gtkglext:setup.Cabal-3.0.2.0,

gtkglext:setup.Cabal-3.0.1.0, gtkglext:setup.Cabal-3.0.0.0,

gtkglext:setup.Cabal-2.4.1.0, gtkglext:setup.Cabal-2.4.0.1,

gtkglext:setup.Cabal-2.4.0.0 (conflict: gtkglext =>
gtkglext:setup.Cabal>=1.24

&& <2.3)


Now, I have Cabal-3.0.1.0

I don't get:

- If cabal configure was happy why does the configuration step if cabal
install  then fail.

where is it getting gtkglext-0.13.2.0 asa user goal...?



Is my fundamentally combination non viable  or is there a way around?



thanks,

David
