Re: [wxhaskell-users] strings truncated to one character in wxhaskell-0.10.1 under ghc-6.6

[Conal E. <co...@co...>]

I don't know whether Unicode was enabled in my wxWidgets build.  I have
wxWidgets 2.4.2 and configured compilation without any mention of unicode.
Would I want unicode enabled or disabled?

I just tried a clean build & install with --enable-unicode and one with
--disable-unicode, and I got the same truncation behavior in both cases.

What is the ideal version of wxWidgets and what are the ideal build
configuration parameters for wxWidgets & wxHaskell with ghc-6.6?

And does anyone have wxHaskell working correctly (not just compiling) with
ghc-6.6?
