I missed his patch.

http://riftor.g615.co.uk/wxhaskell/wxhchanges.txt

And his patch isn't good. He didn't care about API change any place.
So I made patch to fix building problem by refering to his work.
Attached file is that.


But this is partial work.

Because I don't know why this problem cause with wxWidgets 2.8.
wxWidgets API Document (and header file) saids wxGetNumberFromUser uses
wxPoint for argument '8'.

http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.8/wx_dialogfunctions.html#wxgetnumberfromuser

How about edit setup.h's WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 part before building wxWidgets?
I edited (wxWidgets)/include/wx/msw/setup.h to build wxHaskell with wxMSW 2.8.4,
so I think you must edit (wxWidgets)/include/wx/mac/setup.h or
(wxWidgets)/include/wx/mac/setup0.h file.


 From above reason, my patch isn't good enough solution.
But I think this is a good starting point to support wxWidgets 2.8.x.


Best Regards,
