[wxhaskell-devel] Installing wxhaskell for wxwidgets 2.8 on ubuntu

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

Hello list.

Documenting how to install wxhaskell for users of (k)ubuntu 11.10.
Since wxwidgets 2.9 isn't available in the base repositories, one may want
to install the previous version of wxwidgets.
but cabal install wx-0.13.2.1 failed, because it depends on wxcore
(≥0.13.1) which results in it trying to install wxcore-0.90.

So I did :
sudo apt-get install wxwidgets2.8-deaders libwxgtk2.8-dev
cabal install wxcore-0.13.2.1
cabal install wx-0.13.2.1

David.
