Re: [wxhaskell-users] ANN: wxHaskell 0.13.2

[shelarcy <she...@gm...>]

Hello,

This version has two installing problem.

1. wxdirect's sdist dropped IOExtra module, so I can't install this version.
I uploaded newer version for fixing this problem, and attached a patch
for fixing same problem in Dave's wxhaskell-dev branch.

2. It seems that wxcore depends on Eric's wx-config implicitly at least
Windows environment. "cabal install" fail with wx-config-win binary,
and "cabal install" success with Eric's one. If wxcore depends on
wx-config package in only Windows environment, I think we should upload
Eric's wx-config package, and modify wxcore to denped on wx-config package
on  Windows environment for workaround.

if os(windows)
    Build-Depends: wx-config

wx-config package isn't uploaded yet. So, I don't upload newer version,
nor attach patch for fixing this problem.


Best Regards,
