[wxhaskell-devel] darcs patch: Move wxcore.cabal to wxcore and use Simp... (and 2 more)

[<E....@br...>]

Hi everyone,

This bundle is mostly for discussion.  The idea is that "cabal install wxcore"
should really "just work".  For Cabalised projects that use wxHaskell, the
difficulty of installing wxcore is a big stumbling block.

So what this patch bundle aims to do is to move us in the direction of only
using the configure and make stuff to build wxc, install wxc and generate the
wxcore Haskell files with wxdirect.

I don't know yet if this is the right way to about things.  All I noticed is
that wxcore really does build with the Simple method once you have generated
the hs files.  I guess the idea would be that we would have to generate the
files and then release them on hackage.  I also don't know if the generated
.hs files are platform-independent.  If they are not, would it be difficult
to make them so?

Anyway, if this works as expected then we can tell people:

 - install wxWidgets (configure, etc)
 - install wxc (configure, etc)
 - cabal install wx

Thanks!

  * Move wxcore.cabal to wxcore and use Simple build method.
  The assumption here is that the automatically generated files have already
  been built.

  * Do not build wxcore objects (let cabal do that).

  * Remove targets for building wxcore.
