[wxhaskell-devel] 0.11.0 not playing nice with wx 2.8 on Linux

[Adam W. <awi...@ma...>]

Hi, guys. I'm currently working to convert all of Mandriva to wxgtk 2.8
rather than 2.6. wxhaskell is just about the last wxgtk 2.6 piece. :)

I read via the wiki that 0.11.0 seems not only to claim to support 2.8,
but to more or less require it:

"wxHaskell 0.11.x supports wxWidgets 2.8. And wxHaskell doesn't support
wxWidgets 2.6 any more."

However, when I build 0.11.0 against wxgtk 2.8, then try to run any of
the example programs in the source tree as described on the building
wiki page, I get the exact symptoms described here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=536845&aid=1924535&group_id=73133

i.e. three console messages and then nothing - no output.

I've tested with both unicode and non-unicode wx 2.8 - doesn't make any
difference. Both fail.

Is this known? If so, can the Wiki page be clarified...and can this be,
well, fixed? :) Thanks!

Wxgtk 2.8 works for me. I am running Debian stable with wxgtk back-port
from http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ .

Maybe this has to do with the configuration of wxWidgets. Did you
compile with the opengl flag?

How did you compile wxwidgets? And how did you compile wxhaskell?


Greetings,

Mads

Well, good to know it works in some case at least.

Hi

Shelarcy's latest patch solves the problem. At least it did for me and
Chris Casinghino (according to a wxhaskell post).

If you upgrade to the latest version from the Darcs repo, then please
report your results.

Well, since that mail, I actually left Mandriva and now work for Red Hat
(but I can still be @mandriva.com...thank you, disorganized business
processes!)

I still have full commit rights and stuff to Mandriva, and RH don't
really mind me working on Mandriva stuff in my spare time as long as I'm
not using any Super Sekrit Information, but I just don't have much
actual time to do it.

So, I will probably try and get to doing this in MDV at some point, but
it may not be immediately.

Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Thanks for this tip. Indeed, current Darcs wxhaskell works fine with
wxgtku 2.8 on MDV Cooker. At least, I tried several of the examples and
they worked flawlessly.

I have now pushed this build and killed wxgtk 2.6 in MDV. Yay. :)
