[wxhaskell-users] Building wxHaskell with GHC-6.6

[Bas v. D. <bas...@ho...>]

I'm trying to build wxHaskell (with GHC-6.6) but I have a problem.

The following is working ok:

$ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell
...
$ cd wxhaskell
$ make
...
$ sudo make install
...

Now the wxcore package shows up with ghc-pkg list. Jippy!

But the following fails:

$ make wx
ghc -c wx/src/Graphics/UI/WX/Types.hs -o 
out/wx/imports/Graphics/UI/WX/Types.o -iout/wx/imports -odir 
out/wx/imports -hidir out/wx/imports  -fvia-C -package-name wx-0.10.ge 
wxcore-0.10.1

wx/src/Graphics/UI/WX/Types.hs:94:0:
    Bad interface file: out/wx/imports/Graphics/UI/WXCore/Types.hi
        Something is amiss; requested module 
wx-0.10.1:Graphics.UI.WXCore.Types differs from name found in the interface 
file wxcore-0.10.1:Graphics.UI.WXCore.Types
make: *** [out/wx/imports/Graphics/UI/WX/Types.o] Error 1

The following patches are applied to my repo, so what's going on?

  * Separate make/make install for wxcore and wx.

  Now the user has to type
   make
   (sudo) make install
   make wx
   (sudo) make wx-install

  This is a tweak of Shelarcy's patch for making wxhaskell compile on GHC 6.6.
  The intention is to avoid the surprising behaviour of wxcore being installed
  when the user types 'make'.

  * Add shelarcy patch for compile with GHC-6.6
