Installing on Windows
Follow SkyTreeBird's guide. It which walks you through the basic steps
- wx-config
- wxPack
- setting up environment variables
-
cabal install wx
Note that the best way to refer to WxWidgets in your PATH is probably to use the WXWIN variable that you set, eg. %WXWIN%/lib/gcc_dll
The guide has been tested with the following configurations:
| Windows | Haskell Platform |
|---|---|
| XP | 2010.2.0.0 |
| 7 | 2011.2.0.1 |
