wxHaskell uses deprecated wxWidgets 2.4 API.
So you must use previous stable version - wxWidgets 2.6.x - or wxWidets 2.8.x
with compatiblily mode for wxWidgets 2.4 API.

Because you don't use compatiblity mode.
You must add --enable-compat24 option in configuration phase.

./configure --enable-unicode --disable-shared --enable-compat24

And after installing wxWidgets, you must set
#define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 1 to your wxHaskell's setup.h.

And Jeremy is working on supporting wxWidget 2.8 API now.

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

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.

> wxc/src/extra.cpp:1919: error: cannot convert ‘wxPoint’ to ‘int’ for argument ‘8’
> to ‘long int wxGetNumberFromUser(wxChar*, wxChar*, wxChar*, long int, long int,
> long int, wxWindow*, int, int)’

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.

my wx-config --version says 2.6.3.  It's from MacPorts, if it helps,
and I'm not using 2.4 compatibility mode

Thanks Eric. Are you using Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) or Mac OS 10.5 =20
(Leopard)? I have tried installing wx 2.6 using MacPorts on Leopard, =20
but it fails with the same error that I saw when attempting a manual =20
install.

I suspect there is no alternative at this point other than to wait for =20=

proper support for wx 2.8.
