Re: [wxhaskell-users] announce: wxHaskell 0.9.4, windows bug fix release

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

Read this thread, then I try to build wxHskell with wxWidgets 2.6.0.

Okay, I see. wxHaskell can't use with wxWidgets 2.6.0's dll.

If use wxWidgets 2.6.0 on Windows, there are many problem.
Visual C++ 7.1 (Visual Studio .NET 2003) build wxc successfuly,
and build wxHaskell successfuly too.

But If use wxHaskell with wxWidgets 2.6.0's dll then libwxcore2.a
and wxcore2.o can't resolve wxc print function, so both ghc and ghci
can't use wxHaskell with wxWidgets 2.6.0's dll.

Yes, I knew current version doesn't match Visual C++ 7.1 (e.g. Visual C++
7.X's wxcdll doen't work with OpenGL Canvas.), so I don't know Visual C++
6.0 has same problem. But this conclusion - If want to build wxHaskell
on Windows, don't use wxWidgets 2.6.0 - are commonly.

I think this problem doesn't exist in wxWidgets 2.5.3. Only ghci problem
(and 7.1's OpenGL prolem) exists.
