Re: [wxhaskell-users] Problems compiling wxhaskell 0.6

[Gonzalo T. <gon...@so...>]

First of all, thanks for your help

I'm using wxGTK 2.4.2, so it shouldn't be the problem. I'll try to get 
the latest wxhaskell from CVS and see what I can do.



By the way, I plan to use wxHaskell in a project for university. Let me 
tell you briefly what I want to do:
The first goal is to write a GUI builder in Haskell. I want the 
application to show that Haskell can be a powerfull language for 
prototyping and rapid application development (or at leas to be a 
practical tool for that "weird people that program in Haskell"[1]).
I would like to use wxHaskell to make the builder, and the builder 
output will also use wxHaskell. If I manage to do that, I think it will 
also help to show the strength of the wxHaskell library.

Well, that's all. If anyone have any comments or useful information, 
please let me know.


Regards,
Gonzalo Tarantola


[1] At least in my University, most students avoid functional 
programming as much as they can.
