[wxhaskell-devel] 0.11.0 not playing nice with wx 2.8 on Linux

[Adam W. <awi...@ma...>]

Hi, guys. I'm currently working to convert all of Mandriva to wxgtk 2.8
rather than 2.6. wxhaskell is just about the last wxgtk 2.6 piece. :)

I read via the wiki that 0.11.0 seems not only to claim to support 2.8,
but to more or less require it:

"wxHaskell 0.11.x supports wxWidgets 2.8. And wxHaskell doesn't support
wxWidgets 2.6 any more."

However, when I build 0.11.0 against wxgtk 2.8, then try to run any of
the example programs in the source tree as described on the building
wiki page, I get the exact symptoms described here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=536845&aid=1924535&group_id=73133

i.e. three console messages and then nothing - no output.

I've tested with both unicode and non-unicode wx 2.8 - doesn't make any
difference. Both fail.

Is this known? If so, can the Wiki page be clarified...and can this be,
well, fixed? :) Thanks!
