Re: [wxhaskell-users] Correct version of wxMac?

[Neil B. <njb...@gm...>]

Thanks shelarcy. I have followed these suggestions but I get exactly  
the same error when building wxHaskell from darcs. Should I use the  
patched wxHaskell 0.9.4 from Riftor's site? If so, will that patch be  
merged back into the darcs repository?

Incidentally I tried to use 2.6.4, but then wxWidgets itself does not  
build. I think due to some changes in the Carbon APIs in Mac OS X  
Leopard.

Many thanks,
Neil
