Re: [wxhaskell-users] Re: unicode support

[Eric Y. K. <Eri...@lo...>]

Hi list,

We need some help testing something out.

I would like to know what the following sample application looks like
under Linux and Mac OS X without my unicode patch.  

Could some Mac or Linux users please compile the following sample app
and send us a screenshot along with any error messages?  I would like
to see if the errors are from my Unicode patch or something unrelated.

Below are the steps to take and the symptoms we get so you can
compare notes.

Many thanks!

Steps to take
-------------
Requirements: 
  GHC 6.4 (else let us know)
  wxWidgets 2.5 or 2.6.1 (let us know what version)
  wxhaskell 0.9.4 (vanilla, no unicode patch)

Get:
  Yampa Core: http://www.haskell.org/yampa/afrp-0.4-src.tgz
  WxFruit: http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs490/03-04b/bartholomew.robinson/wxfruit-0.1.tar.gz
  afrp patch    (attached)
  wxfruit patch (attached)

Install AFRP:
   tar xzf afrp-0.4-src.tgz
   cd afrp-0.4
   patch -p1 < ../afrp-complete.diff
   runhaskell Setup.hs configure
   runhaskell Setup.hs build 
   sudo runhaskell Setup.hs install 
   sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/afrp-0.4/libHSafrp-0.4.a
   cd ..
  
Compile wxFruit:
   tar xzf wxfruit-0.1.tgz
   cd wxfruit-0.1
   patch -p1 < ../wxfruit.diff
   ghc --make -package afrp -farrows paddle.hs
   # if on mac
   macosx-app a.out

Run it:
   ./a.out

Report errors and send a screen capture

Notes: (these are the same patches as shelarcy's)

Symptoms Mac (paddle-osx.png attached)
------------
On MacOS X 10.4, I get
  wxWidgets Debug Alert
  ../src/common/event.cpp(1327): assert "wxAssertFailure"
  failed: caller should check that we have dynamic events
  Do you want to stop the program?
  You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings.

And after selecting "No", i get the symptoms Shelarchy described (black
backgrounds, outline only being displayed), but otherwise things worked.

(ghc 6.4.1, wxWidgets 2.5.3 (system), wxhaskell-0.9.4 unicode)

Symptoms Linux (paddle-linux.png attached)
--------------
On Linux, things seem to work better, but the speed selector seems
neither to display correctly, nor work.

(ghc 6.4, wxWidgets 2.6.1, wxhaskell-0.9.4 unicode)
