wxhaskell

Can anyone create a pkgbuild for wxhaskell? I have troubles installing it manually..

Wxhaskell: gui programming for haskell with Wxwidgets.

http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/

jinn · 2007-10-18 10:52:00

seems like I need alot of libs for ghc.
1. libghc6-hunit
2. libghc6-mtl
3. libghc6-time

Couldnt find any sources to install manually. but packages exists for ubuntu..

-- Edit
ofcourse you need wxwidgets also.. I installed wxgtk.

i know that mtl is included in ghc. Ubuntu just chose to seperate it out. The others are probably included too. Take a look at the haskell-x11 package on the AUR, you might be able to modify that if wxhaskell has a similar build.

hmm.. As you said.. All those libs are already included. Installed haddock, but did not help either. this is error message trying to compile:

according to the note given by ./configure to install it I only need to do:
1. make
2. make install

So I dont think the haskell-x11 pkgbuild is of any help.

try using wx2.6 instead of 2.8

So I removed wxgtk (v2.8) to force it to use 2.6.. I had to do this:
ln -s /usr/bin/wx-config-26 /usr/bin/wx-config

in order to make it work. But now It wants 2.8?

jinn · 2007-10-19 06:14:04

Alright! it worked. I need some help creating the pkgbuild now. For it to compile correctly I had to edit the configure file, and change wx-config to wx-config-2.6.. How can I do this in the PKGBUILD? Everything else is done.

it looks like this in configure file:

# wxwidgets
wxconfig="wx-config-2.6"

It seems like it needed both wxgtk v2.8 and v2.6.

tardo · 2007-10-19 06:16:34

it shouldn't and you shouldn't use both. to edit the file, try writing a patch, else sed usually works.

jinn · 2007-10-19 06:36:10

well I guess time has came for me to learn howto write a patch.. Any good online tuts for this?

Why should it not use both? I get this error when removing v2.8:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/wx.h', needed by `out/wxc/ewxw_main.o'. Stop.

I used the darcs version of wxhaskell when compiling.. dont know if this is relevant in some way.. If I want to use the darcs version in the pkgbuild instead of source.zip file how can I do this?

this is the command:
darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell

--EDIT

Alright.. the source.zip file doesnt compile at all. I have to use darcs for the pkgbuild.

google "diff patch". lots of tutorials for that. creation is simple: diff -Naur oldfile newfile > name.patch

as for wx, if possible use wx2.8. you may have to write patches to make it compatible. if that fails, fall back to wx2.6. somewhere in the makefiles/configure it's trying to include /usr/include/wx-2.8, just find it and change to 2.6

jinn · 2007-10-19 17:04:43

ok.. the patch is done, but how do I get the source with darcs in the pkgbuild? is it similar to svn pkgbuilds?

tardo · 2007-10-19 19:35:00

yes, look in the wiki for arch cvs/svn guidelines, here should be a darcs prototype there.

jinn · 2007-10-20 06:50:30

nice! Just finished the pkgbuild. Added to AUR, thanks for the guidelines and help.

Do vote for it

Unfortunately the package doesn't install for me (and I do need it really badly). However, I can't even get it to work when trying to install it from source on my own.

It seems to work when I "sudo yaourt wxhaskell", but shouldn't packages take care of that automatically?

this line says that the package tries to rename a file where it hasn't got permissions too rename.

That might be so, but shouldn't yaourt automatically (or perhaps the PKGBUILD tell yaourt to) ask the user for the root password if such privileges are needed for installing?

Yes, but the error message says that the renaming is tried at build time. This should never be done by a build script but only my pacman. The PKGBUILD is broken.
