| − | == Debian == |
||
| − | |||
| − | # For Debian Linux systems (as long as there's no .deb package): |
||
| − | #* Fetch the rpm package from http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/download.html |
||
| − | #* make sure you have wxWidgets installed (libraries and developer files) |
||
| − | #* if you haven't done this already, install the debian package "alien": apt-get install alien |
||
| − | #* use alien to install the rpm package: alien -i wxhaskell....rpm |
||
| − | #* use ghc-pkg to add the packages wxcore and wx to ghc's package configuration file: <br /><code>cd /usr/lib/ghc-6.2.1/wxhaskell-0.7<br />ghc-pkg -D wxhlibdir=/usr/lib/ghc-6.2.1/wxhaskell-0.7 -ai wxcore.pkg<br />ghc-pkg -D wxhlibdir=/usr/lib/ghc-6.2.1/wxhaskell-0.7 -ai wx.pkg<br /></code> |
||
| − | # Another way for Debian systems:<br /> use the repository "deb http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386 unstable ." |
||
| − | # A way that surely works: |
||
| − | #* Fetch the two deb packages on http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386/unstable/w/wxhaskell/ |
||
| − | #* apt-get install libwxgtk2.5-dev |
||
| − | #* dpkg -i [name], where name is the name of the two packages, you should first install the normal package and then the dev-package |
||
| − | #** <code>wxhlibdir=/usr/lib ghc-pkg -ai /usr/lib/wxcore.pkg</code> |
||
| − | #** <code>wxhlibdir=/usr/lib ghc-pkg -ai /usr/lib/wx.pkg</code> |

||
| − | |||
| − | Getting wxHaskell 0.9.4 to work with wxWidgets 2.6 on Panther (10.3). |
||
| − | |||
| − | * install wxWidgets for mac, wxmac http://www.wxwidgets.com |
||
| − | ** use the --disable-shared option for configure (this isn't needed in all cases?)<br><code>./configure --disable-shared</code> |
||
| − | * Make sure you have readline installed. The simplest way is to use fink or darwinports. http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/building-macosx.html |
||
| − | * grab and install [[wxHaskell]] |
||
| − | * (unique to macosx!)<br><code>sudo ln -s /usr/local/wxhaskell/bin/macosx-app /usr/local/bin/</code> |
||
| − | * See below if you have any trouble |
||
| − | |||
| − | Getting wxHaskell 0.9.4 to work with Wolfgang Thaller's installer for GHC 6.4.1 and wxWidgets 2.6.3 on Tiger (10.4.7 in my case): |
||
| − | * Download and compile wxWidgets for mac (wxMac 2.6.3) from http://www.wxwidgets.com/ |
||
| − | ** I used: <code>./configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --with-opengl --with-mac --without-odbc</code> |
||
| − | * Download and unzip the sources to wxhaskell 0.9.4 |
||
| − | * Download and apply the unicode patch to wxhaskell 0.9.4 from http://www.loria.fr/~kow/download/patch-wxhaskell-unicode-08 |
||
| − | ** I used: <code> cd wxhaskell-0.9.4; patch -p1 < ../wxhaskel-unicode.patch; cd ..</code> |
||
| − | * Change makefile so that line 718 reads: <code> $(CXX) -r -keep_private_externs -nostdlib -o $(WXC-OUTDIR)/master.o $^ $(WXC-LIBS) -lSystemStubs -shared-libgcc -lstdc++-static</code> (don't forget the tab starting the line!) |
||
| − | * Check to see if you have XCode 2.3 or newer installed; with the above line, compilation will fail with lower versions, due to a lacking libstdc++-static.a |
||
| − | * Configure wxhaskell and build it |
||
| − | ** I used: <code>./configure --wx-config=/usr/local/src/wxMac-2.6.3/osx-build/wx-config --with-opengl; make; make install</code> |
||
| − | * Enjoy |
||
| − | |||
| − | Alternatively: download [http://www.cs.uu.nl/~arthurvl/wxhaskell-0.9.4-ghc-6.4.1.dmg the wxhaskell 0.9.4 installer] for GHC 6.4.1 for PPC. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Unknown: |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Does the darwinports version of wxWidgets work with wxHaskell? Would be nice if somebody made a portfile for it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Errors === |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Problems compiling wxHaskell (something like the below)<br /><code>/tmp/ghc29861.s:4379: Unknown pseudo-op:<br />.subsections_via_symbol</code><br />Make sure you have at least Xcode 1.5 (gcc 3.3 build 1671). Xcode 1.1 (gcc build 1495) is not enough |
||
| − | * More linker trouble:<code>ld: out/wxc/master.o undefined symbol 36311 (__ZdaPv) can't be a weak definition |
||
| − | /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed |
||
| − | make: *** [out/wxc/libwxc-mac2.6.2-0.9.4.dylib] Error 1</code> |
||
| − | ** Fix seems to be to add the gcc 3.3 version of libstdc++ to your dylib: http://page.freett.com/shelarcy/log/2006/diary_02.html |
||
| − | ** If you use gcc 4, try to add the following linker flags "-lSystemStubs -shared-libgcc -lstdc++-static". (libstdc++-static.a is part of XCode 2.3) |
||
| − | * If you get linker errors like it not being able to find _TextziParserCombinatorsziParsecziChar_alphaNum_closure, try editing config/config.mk and setting HC=ghc -lHSparsec. This is likely not a mac-specific problem but related to the use of GHC 6.2 over 6.0.1. (not sure if this is still valid) |
||
| − | * When compiling your Haskell program:<br /><code>ld: /usr/lib/crt1.o illegal reference to symbol: __objcInit defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib</code> |
||
| − | * Adding -framework AppKit to the compiler switches for your Haskell program seems to help |
||
| − | * Certain buttons and widgets are not active |
||
| − | |||
| − | The last point is possibly a wxWidgets or a wxHaskell bug - basically, widgets in "boxed" environments do not react to user. Take out the box, and you're ok. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == [[Windows]] == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Installing [[wxHaskell]] is easy once you realize that the batch file (wxhaskell-register.bat) only |
||
| − | works from folders with no spaces anywhere in the address, e.g. double clicking |
||
| − | C:\Cygwin\wxhaskell-0.9.4\bin\wxhaskell-register.bat works but if you put the files under C:\Documents and Settings\wxhaskell-0.9.4\... or C:\Program Files\wxhaskell-0.9.4\... it might not work. Just move the installer folder wxhaskell-0.9.4 to somewhere with no spaces in the address and double-click wxhaskell-register.bat. I hope this helps someone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == [[BSD|FreeBSD]] == |
||
| − | Anyone able to get wxHaskell working with FreeBSD? It's not in the ports unfortunately. I tried installing wxWidgets 2.4 and trying to install wxHaskell locally; it builds fine, but I try to build HelloWorld.hs I get some errors about pthreads. When I tried with wxWidgets 2.6, wxHaskell itself refuses to compile because it can't find GL/gl.h or something. Any tips? This is all on FreeBSD 5.5 |
