[wxhaskell-users] Problems compiling wxhaskell 0.6

[Gonzalo T. <gon...@so...>]

Hi. Can anybody help me?

I'm trying to install wxHaskell 0.6, but when I type make I get the
following:

It looks to me like some type errors. How do I fix them? I tried with
wxhaskell 0.5 and I got the same result.


If it helps, the compiler version is
~/Sources/wxHaskell/wxhaskell-0.6>c++ --version
c++ (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)

Thanks in advance,

Hi Gonzalo,

It is hard to guess what causes your problems. I think though that you
are trying to use wxHaskell 0.6 with wxGTK 2.5.1? In that case,
there are two solutions:

1) use wxGTK 2.4.2  (instead of 2.5.1)
2) use the latest wxHaskell from CVS and configure wxGTK with
    the "--disable-shared" flag.  (see <http://wxhaskell.sf.net/building.html>)

I hope this helps,
All the best,
  Daan.

Re: [wxhaskell-users] Problems compiling wxhaskell 0.6

[Gonzalo T. <gon...@so...>]

First of all, thanks for your help

I'm using wxGTK 2.4.2, so it shouldn't be the problem. I'll try to get 
the latest wxhaskell from CVS and see what I can do.



By the way, I plan to use wxHaskell in a project for university. Let me 
tell you briefly what I want to do:
The first goal is to write a GUI builder in Haskell. I want the 
application to show that Haskell can be a powerfull language for 
prototyping and rapid application development (or at leas to be a 
practical tool for that "weird people that program in Haskell"[1]).
I would like to use wxHaskell to make the builder, and the builder 
output will also use wxHaskell. If I manage to do that, I think it will 
also help to show the strength of the wxHaskell library.

Well, that's all. If anyone have any comments or useful information, 
please let me know.


Regards,
Gonzalo Tarantola


[1] At least in my University, most students avoid functional 
programming as much as they can.

[wxhaskell-users] GUI builder (was Re: Problems compiling wxhaskell 0.6)

I'd also like to see Haskell getting more in the 'mainstream'.
Your project of writing GUI builder could be one nice step towards it.

Although not having (at the moment) enough time (besides testing building of 
wxhaskell, ghc) to dive into Haskell & wxhaskell, I'm definitely interested
to use both of them in the future, I'm interested if the tool like wxglade
could be used with wxhaskell?

There is also DialogBlocks dialog editor which 'understands' XRC too, as well
as wxDesigner.

Maybe it will be worth to write Haskell application to parse XRC files and
generate appropriate wxhaskell code instead of writing GUI builder from a 
scratch?

In this way one can choose preferred GUI tool - free (wxglade) or commercial
(DialogBlocks & wxDesigner) and focusing on functional part of aplication in
Haskell.

These are some thoughts, but pls. bear in mind they are coming from one not
very familiar with the wxhaskell & Haskell programming .

I think you're right. What you said was one of the approaches I was
considering, and it can avoid me some headaches (But it'll get me
others, surely :-)). I'll take a look at the tools you mention.

Thanks for your opinions, I really appreciate them, they are very useful.

Have you seen some of the tools?

What do you think?

Well, it would be more useful to offer some help in coding, but I hope I'll
arrive at that stage at some moment :-)
