[wxhaskell-users] Building the windows port possible?

[Daniel K. <d.k...@go...>]

Hello,

I try to build the current wxhaskell version from the darcs repository.
Therefor I started shell session configured like described on the
documentation site.
The sh.exe I use is provided by msys, I also installed mingw32 (`uname
-a' : MINGW32_NT-5.1
... 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2007-01-12 12:05 i686 Msys)

The make process runs fine until it fails with
the message
   `wx/graphics.h' isn't found (for the wxwidgets version 2.6.4)

and with the messages
   `wxc/src/graphicscontext.cpp:417: error: expected `,' or `...'
before '*' token
    wxc/src/graphicscontext.cpp:418: error: ISO C++ forbids
declaration of `wxPoint2DDouble' with no type'
    make: *** [dist/wxc/graphicscontext.o] Error 1
in both cases - trying to compile against wxwidgets versions 2.6.4 and 2.8.8.

The tool call which
sets the wxversion variable (`wx-config --version') is executed and
returns the built and installed version of wxwidgets (tried with both
separatly).
The searched hosted graphics.h as I could determine seems
available as part of the 2.8.x version of wxwidgets at first.

Did I forget to build something on the wxwidgets side?

Thank you so far
Daniel.

Well, I notice you have tried both 2.6.4 and 2.8.8 below.  For what
it's worth, only 2.8.x is supported  (in case this helps to narrow)

I'm not sure what to suggest.  Shelarcy, any ideas?

I would appreciate it if you could post any findings on the
troubleshooting section of
  http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Install

This problem come from wxGraphicsContext support. wx/graphics.h includes wx/geometory.h,
but wrapper.h does not. So, I think we can fix this problem easily.

Daniel, if you want to just build wxHaskell, you should rebuild wxWidgets with
--enable-graphics_ctx option.

And I made and send patch for this problem, too. If you don't want to build
wxWidgets again, please wait a moment until applying my new patch to darcs
repository.

I think that patch also fixes below problem.

You could also apply the patch to your own repository and see how it
works out :-)

Hello,

Thanks very much for your help, but had no luck again, trying to
rebuild wxwidgets (darcs pull found nothing new yet).

Will I have to install the Platform SDK then or something similar ??
The make process now complains about this error:

../../src/msw/graphics.cpp:92:21: gdiplus.h: No such file or directory
../../src/msw/graphics.cpp:93: error: `Gdiplus' is not a namespace-name
../../src/msw/graphics.cpp:93: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token
* Please look at the attachement for follow up errors

My configure arguments were:

../../configure --with-msw --enable-unicode --with-odbc --with-opengl
--enable-sound --enable-mediactrl --disable-shared --enable-optimize
--enable-graphics_ctx

Hmm ... it seems that MinGW'a w32api doesn't have gdiplus library yet.

> Will I have to install the Platform SDK then or something similar ??

I think PlatformSDK's header and library files are incompatible with w32api.
Because Aaron is working for to modernize Windows platform support in Google
Summer of Code project now.

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/WindowsGCCImprovementsGSoC2008#head-5effb1d3f01b0db6e4f7d14b0ce1beed8469de4e

So, we can't enable wxGraphicsContext support when using MinGW now....

Well, I can't push Shelarcy's patch in until later this evening (not
for 5 hours or so), but you could save his email attachment (the
patch) and run darcs apply on the saved file...

oh wait, that was on the wxhaskell-devel list, which is why you never saw it!
http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/comp/lang/haskell/wxhaskell/devel/236-001.bin

I'll leave the other questions to Shelarcy...

[Daniel K. <d.k...@go...>]

Hi again,

I was able to run the make process on wxhaskell with wxwidgets-2.8.8
built against mingw now without errors. At first I made a darcs pull
in my wxhaskell repo to get the patches from 29/07/2008. Then I used
the wxwidgets build, configured without the `--enable-graphics_ctx'
flag, but with the other recommended flags. I also built the
contrib/src folders contents for the stc stuff, otherwise the
wxhaskell build may break. That part ran fine.

Now I changed into the source folder of wxhaskell and configured it as
usual (with `--with-contrib' flag and all that). make then ran with no
errors. At the moment I have no time to take the whole of it done
(make wx ...), but I'm shure that is more straight forward.

Keep up the good work.

Daniel
