Hi Shelarcy (and others), Some results from Neil's testing of the wxhaskell 0.10.3rc1 on Windows. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Neil Mitchell <nd...@cs...> Date: 7 Mar 2008 13:47 Subject: Re: wxhaskell 0.10.3rc1 - testers wanted To: Eric Kow <eri...@gm...> Hi Eric, Looks like it works fine. A readme would be useful to tell people to go run wxregister.bat. Ideally an installer that did it all for you, but the readme is a nice quick solution. I tried the bouncing ball demo, and it disabled the close button, plus there are no visible instructions on how to create more windows or bouncing balls - not very friendly. I figured out that Alt+F4 works (even though the button suggests it won't), but hardly intuative. The camels program also goes two levels back, rather than restarting the current level. It works, and seems perfectly stable and native looking - so in good shape for a quick release!

I think we must write not only for Windows but also other platforms. And we must avoid lengthy instruction same as wxHaskell page and wiki. And Ideas?

I agree. The readme should probably just tell you the minimum you need to install wxhaskell using the packages. On Windows, it should probably just say which batch files to run. On Mac, it's pretty self-explanatory (just double-click the .pkg file). Not sure about Linux; probably just tell the user to copy the lib files? Other than that, we probably want to link to the homepage and the wiki and suggest the user compile the sample applications to make sure everything is working -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 |

Not sure about Linux; probably just tell > the user to copy the lib files? I was thinking about making a .deb package file Debian (could also be used for Debian derivatives like Ubuntu). You would then just do > dpkg -i WxHaskell.deb It should install to /usr/local, to minimize the risk of hurting the users system. And it will be easier for the user to remove WxHaskell if something goes horribly wrong. I do not really know how to make .deb files, but from my initial readings it do not seem to complicated. Note, that it will not be the kind of .deb than can go into the main Debian repository, as they need to follow an endless number of rules. Just something the user can download and easily install/remove.

The job should be made easier with http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386/unstable/w/wxhaskell/ There is already an rpmdist target in the makefile. Having a debdist target would be nice. Also, the darcs darcs repository (as in the source code to darcs) has some debian-related stuff in the makefile and in its release/ subdirectory. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 |
