[wxhaskell-users] Compiling from source on Mac OS X Tiger: success

[Arthur v. L. <art...@cs...>]

Hello all,

thought you might like to know the exact procedure I've taken to get
wxHaskell to compile on Mac OS X Tiger. (Also posted on the
Haskell wiki at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/ 
Installation_tips )

- Download and compile wxWidgets for mac (wxMac 2.6.3) from http:// 
www.wxwidgets.com/
	- I used: ./configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --with- 
opengl --with-mac --without-odbc
- Download and unzip the sources to wxhaskell 0.9.4
- Download and apply the unicode patch to wxhaskell 0.9.4 from http:// 
www.loria.fr/~kow/download/patch-wxhaskell-unicode-08
	- I used: cd wxhaskell-0.9.4; patch -p1 < ../wxhaskel-unicode.patch;  
cd ..
- Change makefile so that line 718 reads: $(CXX) -r - 
keep_private_externs -nostdlib -o $(WXC-OUTDIR)/master.o $^ $(WXC- 
LIBS) -lSystemStubs -shared-libgcc -lstdc++-static (don't forget the  
tab starting the line!)
- Check to see if you have XCode 2.3 or newer installed; with the  
above line, compilation will fail with lower versions, due to a  
lacking libstdc++-static.a
- Configure wxhaskell and build it
	- I used: ./configure --wx-config=/usr/local/src/wxMac-2.6.3/osx- 
build/wx-config --with-opengl; make; make install

With regards, Arthur van Leeuwen.
