Cabalized gtk2hs: errors

2010-03-22T07:40:00.000-07:00

Cabalized version available at http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00535.html

During installation of cairo-0.10.5:

[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, dist\setup\Main.o )
Linking .\dist\setup\setup.exe ...
Configuring cairo-0.10.5...
setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing C libraries: z, cairo
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
cairo-0.10.5 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1

Issues in the installation of darcs version of gtk2hs on windows

./configure: line 5002: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB,glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gobject-2.0 >=

With Haskell Platform (ghc-6.10.4)

./configure
There was an error saying that the ghc is not found in the included path. However, it was already there.

Installation of gtk, gtk2hs, glade and leksah on windows XP

2010-01-28T08:05:00.000-08:00

Step 1: Intall ghc
Download ghc 6.10.3 and install it at default destination.

Step 2: Install cabal
Download cabal for windows and install. This didn't work for me so alternately I used the tar file;

download cabal-install-0.6.2.tar.gz
untar at a location of your choice
open cmd and go to the path and do

pathtofile\ghc --make Setup.hs
runghc Setup configure
runghc Setup build
runghc Setup install
cabal update

Step 3: Install gtk
Download gtk for windows from and install at the default location.

Step 4: Install gtk2hs
Download gtk2hs-0.10.1-win32-installer and download at default location.

Note: Glade is now in the package list.
on prompt write "ghc-pkg list" to see the installed packages

Step 5: Glade Editor

Download glade3
untar the folder at any location
in the bin folder you will find the glade-3 executable file

Step 6: Leksah
Method I: cabal install leksah

Mathod II: Download the Leksah-0.6.1.0.exe and install at default location.

Method III:

Download the binary source tar from hackage
untar and and go to the path and wrtie on cmd prompt

pathtofolder\cabal install
This will give error : cannot find -lgtksourceview-2.0

Solution is given in the Leksah FAQ#12,

download binary source tar gtksourceview-dev-2.6.2.zip
put the "libgtksourceview-2.0.dll.a" into the gcc-lib folder of ghc

pathtofolder\cabal install
