| It currently works with Gtk+ 2.0 through to 2.22 on Unix, Win32 and MacOS X.
| | See [[Gtk2Hs/Installation#Supported_Versions]] for details on which systems should be able to build Gtk2Hs and which are known to be able to build Gtk2Hs. |
| Details please check : http://www.gtk.org/language-bindings.html
| |
| | |
| It currently builds with ghc 5.04.3 through to 7.xx.x (6.12.2 have runtime bug, don't use it)

| == Installation Notes == | | == Installation Notes == |
| === Windows 7 32 bit ===
| |
| ==== Install Haskell Platform and MingW ====
| |
| * Install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/windows.html Haskell Platform] for Windows.
| |
| * Optional : Install [http://mingw.org MinGW] as per the instructions on their web site. Also install MSYS and mingw-make. A version of MinGW does come with Haskell Platform but excludes MSYS and 'make'.
| |
| ==== Install libxml ====
| |
| * Download and unzip the latest libxml2 and libxml2-dev archives from [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ Gnome].
| |
| * To the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable add the 'pkgconfig' directory in libxml2-dev.
| |
| * To the INCLUDE environment variable add the paths to the 'include' directory in both libxml2 and libxml2-dev.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Install the GTK bundle ====
| |
| * Download and install the [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glade3/3.6/glade3-3.6.7-with-GTK+.exe bundled GTK and Glade binary].
| |
| * To the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable add the 'pkgconfig' directory. The default path should be "C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig".
| |
| * To the INCLUDE environment variable add the 'libglade-2.0' directory. The default path should be "C:\Program Files\Gtk+\include\libglade-2.0".
| |
| ==== Install the Haskell bindings ====
| |
| * At the DOS prompt run 'cabal install gtk'. Make sure you have at least 1.5 GB RAM otherwise this compilation will die.
| |
| * At the DOS prompt run 'cabal install glade'.
| |
| ==== Test the GTK install ====
| |
| * In some appropriate temporary directory run 'cabal unpack gtk'. This downloads and unpacks the Haskell sources.
| |
| ** Run the demos (using mingw-make)
| |
| *** If you installed MinGW then in the 'demo' directory, navigate into the 'hello' directory and run mingw32-make.exe. Now run the executable that was created.
| |
| ** Run the demos (manual compilation)
| |
| *** In the 'demo' directory, navigate into the 'hello' directory and run 'ghc --make World.hs -o helloworld.exe'. Now run the executable that was created.
| |
| ==== Test the Glade install ====
| |
| * In some appropriate temporary directory run 'cabal unpack glade'. This downloads and unpacks the Haskell sources.
| |
| ** Run the demos (using mingw-make)
| |
| *** If you installed MinGW then in the 'demo' directory, navigate into the 'gladetest' directory and run mingw32-make.exe. Now run the executable that was created.
| |
| ** Run the demos (manual compilation)
| |
| *** In the 'demo' directory, navigate into the 'gladetest' directory and run 'ghc --make GladeTest.hs -o gladetest.exe'. Now run the executable that was created.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Common Errors ====
| |
| * Glade.h is not found
| |
| gtk2hsC2hs.exe : glade/glade.h: File does not exist
| |
| Probably instead of installing the GTK/Glade bundle you installed them seperately. The GTK/Glade bundle comes with the "include/libglade-2.0" containing a number of header files. For some reason this directory is not included in stand-alone GTK and Glade installers. Install the bundle and add this directory to the INCLUDE environment variable.
| |
| * Cabal cannot find gtk2hsC2hs.
| |
| Please install gtk2hs-buildtools' first and check
| |
| that the installdirectory is in your PATH (e.g. HOME/.cabal/bin).
| |
| cabal: Error: some packages failed to install
| |
| Somehow the path to the cabal bin directory has been lost. To the PATH environment variable re-add the cabal bin directory. The default path should be "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin".
| |
| * Spinner error with the 'notebook' demo
| |
| Running the 'notebook' demo in the GTK install gives:
| |
| [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Notebook.hs, Notebook.o )
| |
| Notebook.hs:14:35:
| |
| Not in scope: type constructor or class `Spinner'
| |
| Notebook.hs:78:13: Not in scope: `spinnerNew'
| |
| Notebook.hs:101:2: Not in scope: `spinnerStart'
| |
| Notebook.hs:109:2: Not in scope: `spinnerStop'
| |
| mingw32-make: *** [notebook] Error 1
| |
| This happens because this demo uses the new Spinner widget in GTK 2.22. Since this is not available in GTK 2.16 you get this error.

| |
| ==== Using MacPorts and Snow Leopard ====
| |
|
| |
| This explains how to install Gtk2Hs-0.10.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, in combination with GTK+ from MacPorts.
| |
|
| |
| * Install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform] for Mac
| |
| * Download gtk2hs from [http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ gtk2hs website] and untar it.
| |
| * Install gtk, cairo, etc. from MacPorts like this (note that the +universal is needed; if you already installed gtk or one of its dependencies, it is recommended you reinstall those as detailed in the NB at the end of this section).
| |
| :::sudo port install gtk +universal
| |
| * go to the directory where gtk2hs is untarred and run
| |
| :::./configure --disable-split-objs --disable-gio
| |
| :::make
| |
| :::sudo make install
| |
|
| |
| Alternatively, if you wish to follow the Mac OS X style of directory layout, you can use this configure command instead:
| |
| :::./configure --with-pkgconf=/Users/username/.ghc/i386-darwin-6.10.4/package.conf --prefix=/Users/username/Library/Haskell/packages/gtk2hs --disable-split-objs --disable-gio
| |
|
| |
| Where username is your username ofcourse. Right now you should be able to run the demos. Unfortunately, to build any libraries depending on gtk2hs, such as [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart/ Chart], you need to edit one more file. You will need to find "package.conf" for your ghc by doing
| |
| :::ghc-pkg list
| |
| In the output you will see the full directory to your package.conf file. In this file, you need to search for "gthread", and everywhere you can find it, add "/opt/local/lib" (with quotes) to the libraryDirs array before it.
| |
|
| |
| If all went well, it should be properly installed now.
| |
|
| |
| NB: If compiling fails with architecture errors for certain dynlibs, you need to reinstall the packages these dynlibs belong to with +universal by doing
| |
| :::sudo port upgrade packagename --enforce-variants +universal
| |
| Alternatively, and this is recommended, you can follow the steps on [http://passingcuriosity.com/2009/haskell-on-snow-leopard/ Haskell On Snow Leopard Blogpost] to immediately add the universal variant of each package:
| |
| # Edit /opt/local/macports/variants.conf and add +universal to the end of this file
| |
| # sudo port selfupdate
| |
| # sudo port sync
| |
| # sudo port upgrade --force-installed
| |
|
| |
| ==== Using the GTK+ OS X Framework ====
| |
|
| |
| This explains how to install Gtk2Hs on Macs using the native [http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ GTK+ OS X Framework], a port of GTK+ to the Mac that does '''not''' depend on X11, and hence, is better integrated into the Mac desktop - i.e., menus actually appear in the menu bar, where they belong. It also avoids the often tedious installation of GTK+ via MacPorts. However, it misses support for optional Gtk2Hs packages that are currently not supported by the [http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ GTK+ OS X Framework], most notably support for Glade. It does include support for Cairo, though.
| |
|
| |
| Here is how to install the library:
| |
| # Download and install [http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ GTK+ OS X Framework] (this uses the standard Mac package installer).
| |
| # Install [http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/ pkg-config], either by compiling it from source or via MacPorts.
| |
| # Download and unpack the Gtk2Hs tar ball from the [http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/download/ Gtk2Hs download page] (I tested 0.10.0).
| |
| # Configure with (you may want to remove the two backslashes and put everything on one line)
| |
| env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Cairo.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:\
| |
| /Library/Frameworks/GLib.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:\
| |
| /Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --disable-gio
| |
| # Build with
| |
| make
| |
| # Install (to <tt>/usr/local/</tt> unless a <tt>--prefix</tt> option was passed to <tt>configure</tt>) with
| |
| sudo make install
| |
|
| |
| The library is now registered with the package database of the GHC you used for compiling.
| |
|
| |
| NB: Thanks to Ross Mellgren for his post on the gtk2hs-users list that outlined the use of <tt>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</tt>.

| ==== Article as of Mid 2008 ====
| |
| Installing Gtk2Hs on Mac requires some finesse, at least until Haskell Libary Platform is built or ghc-6.8.3 is
| |
| available in macports. (These are planned for late 2008.)
| |
|
| |
| * Install [http://macports.org MacPorts]
| |
| * Install dependencies:
| |
| sudo port install glade3 libglade2 gstreamer gst-plugins-base gtksourceview cairo librsvg gtkglext firefox
| |
| * Update PKG_CONFIG_PATH (for libraries)
| |
| export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
| |
| * Update ghc to use macports libs: Edit your main <tt>ghc</tt> driver program and change the last line to:
| |
| exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"} -L/opt/local/lib -I/opt/local/include
| |
| * Download Gtk2Hs following instructions at [http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/downloads/ Gtk2Hs Download page]
| |
| * Check configuration:
| |
| ./configure --enable-docs --enable-profiling
| |
|
| |
| ...
| |
|
| |
| **************************************************
| |
| * Configuration completed successfully.
| |
| *
| |
| * The following packages will be built:
| |
| *
| |
| * glib : yes
| |
| * gtk : yes
| |
| * glade : yes
| |
| * cairo : yes
| |
| * svgcairo : yes
| |
| * gtkglext : yes
| |
| * gconf : yes
| |
| * sourceview : yes
| |
| * mozembed : yes
| |
| * soegtk : yes
| |
| * gnomevfs : yes
| |
| * gstreamer : yes
| |
| * documentation : yes
| |
| *
| |
| * Now do "(g)make" followed by "(g)make install"
| |
| **************************************************
| |
| * Build and Install:
| |
| make
| |
| sudo make install
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== Recent experiences ====
| | See [[Gtk2Hs/Installation]]. |
| I successfully installed the latest version on Mac OS 10.5 by:
| |
| * Installing Macports.
| |
| * <tt>sudo port install ghc</tt>
| |
| * <tt>sudo port install gtk2hs</tt> - which does not complete successfully. It does however, install the appropriate dependencies. Note that there are so many, you may need to install a couple of times due to time outs etc.. The build of Gtk2HS will fail, but that is ok - continue as below. Also note that ghc configure will give up if your perl5.8 is not new enough, if so deactivate it and try again.
| |
| * Remove the build directory under <tt>/opt/.../build/gtk2hs</tt>
| |
| * Download Gtk2Hs via darcs as per [http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/development/#darcs the gtk2hs download instructions]
| |
| * do a <tt>sudo port install automake</tt>
| |
| * do a <tt>sudo port install alex</tt>
| |
| * do a <tt>sudo port install happy</tt> (Note this also fails and must be built from source. See the [[Happy]] page for details.)
| |
| * Follow the build instructions on the [http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/development/#darcs the gtk2hs download page]. I would suggest using <tt>./configure --prefix=/opt/local</tt> to get it in the same place as ports - personal preference though.
| |
| Good luck - as usual, your mileage may vary.
