[wxhaskell-devel] I need help setting up

[D.V. <dav...@gm...>]

Bonsoir List,

I'm trying to follow the instructions from
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Development/Environment
however it's not working.

- cabal-dev add-source wxdirect  works fine
- cabal-dev add-source wxcore    has an error
- cabal-dev add-source wx        works fine

wxcore error:
[...]
Configuring wxcore-0.13.1...
setup: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing C libraries: wx_baseu-2.8, wx_baseu_net-2.8, wx_baseu_xml-2.8,
wx_gtk2u_core-2.8, wx_gtk2u_adv-2.8, wx_gtk2u_html-2.8, wx_gtk2u_qa-2.8,
wx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8, wx_gtk2u_aui-2.8, wx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
Building source dist for wxcore-0.13.1...
Preprocessing library wxcore-0.13.1...
Source tarball created: dist/wxcore-0.13.1.tar.gz

I'm on kubuntu 11.04.
I have a fresh ghc7.0.1 install.
cabal install wx worked fine; I am able to compile and run wxHaskell programs.

running with verbose=3 tells me a bunch of
/usr/bin/gcc returned ExitFailure 1 with error message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwxmsw28ud_media
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwxmsw28ud_richtext
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwxmsw28ud_aui
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwxmsw28ud_xrc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

a search on google brings a few pages, however I still can't figure
out how to make it work.

Here's what libraries I have that contain 'wx', I've no idea how to
get the missing ones.

$ find /usr -name '*wx*so'
/usr/lib/libwxsvg.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_ogl-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gizmos-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_fl-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gizmos_xrc-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so

/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_svg-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_plot-2.8.so

Please help !

David.
