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

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

Fixed!  Now I have wxHaskell-0.10.1 and wxWidgets-2.6.3 working together
with unicode, and no more truncated strings.

The compilation problem below seems to have been that my wxHaskell compile
was picking up my old wxWidgets-2.4 include files rather than the new
2.6.3ones.  Looking in /usr/local/include, I saw wx/ and
wx-2.6.  Although the wxHaskell compilations explicitly ref'd include/wx-2.=
6,
the error messages below ref'd include/wx, I fixed the problem by renaming
include/wx to include/wx-2.4 and recompiling wxHaskell.

There was one more build problem.  After wxcore was built, I got "multiple
target patterns" errors from "make install".  To work around this problem, =
I
moved two sets *.d files out of the way, as follows:

bash-3.1$ make install
out/wxc/ewxw_main.d:1: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
bash-3.1$ pushd out/wxc
/c/Haskell/wxhaskell/out/wxc /c/Haskell/wxhaskell /usr/local/include
/c/wxWidgets-2.6.3/mybuild
bash-3.1$ mkdir ds
bash-3.1$ mv *.d ds
bash-3.1$ pushd
/c/Haskell/wxhaskell /c/Haskell/wxhaskell/out/wxc /usr/local/include
/c/wxWidgets-2.6.3/mybuild
bash-3.1$ make install
out/wxc/ewxw/eljaccelerator.d:1: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
bash-3.1$ pushd
/c/Haskell/wxhaskell/out/wxc /c/Haskell/wxhaskell /usr/local/include
/c/wxWidgets-2.6.3/mybuild
bash-3.1$ cd ewxw
bash-3.1$ mkdir ds
bash-3.1$ mv *.d ds
bash-3.1$ pushd
/c/Haskell/wxhaskell /c/Haskell/wxhaskell/out/wxc/ewxw /usr/local/include
/c/wxWidgets-2.6.3/mybuild
bash-3.1$ make install
install directory: C:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/
...

All went well from there.

One more small annoyance.  I get many compiler complaints about -fPIC, e.g.=
,

g++ -c wxc/src/ewxw_main.cpp -o out/wxc/ewxw_main.o -MD
-IC:/cygwin/usr/local/include -IC:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/wx/include/msw-
unicode-release-static-2.6 -IC:/cygwin/usr/local/include/wx-2.6 -D__WIN95__
-D__WXMSW__ -fPIC -Iwxc/include
cc1plus.exe: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position
independent)

Is there a process for submitting & tracking wxHaskell bug reports?

Cheers,  - Conal
