[wxhaskell-devel] OSX Build Failure

[James Laver]

Hi,

I'm running OSX Mountain Lion and having followed the instructions on the HaskellWiki page, I was left with my build erroring out as follows:

Configuring wxc-0.90.0.4...
Configuring wxc to build against wxWidgets 2.9.4.0

setup: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: wx_osx_cocoau_all-2.9
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
Failed to install wxc-0.90.0.4
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
wx-0.90.0.1 depends on wxc-0.90.0.4 which failed to install.
wxc-0.90.0.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Having ensured I passed the --extra-{include,lib}-dirs flags so it picked up my homebrew'd wxmac, I investigated.

Adding a symbolic link from libwx_osx_cocoau_all-2.9.dylib to libwx_osx_cocoau-2.9.dylib did the trick. This allowed wxc to be built.

The wxHaskell packages on Hackage are not adapted to the latest version of
GHC yet; you can install the GitHub version with
git clone https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell
or download the zip file from the web page with the same address.

Then install the packages from disk in the following order:
wxdirect wxc wxcore wx

I'll also add that I've just recently released a new version of
cabal-macosx this afternoon (which builds app bundles for your OS X
GUI apps)

The Git wxHaskell does build with haskell-platform 2013.2.0.0 on Mac
OS X (Lion though)…

Hi Eric,

I'll install the new cabal-macosx.

I can also confirm that the github wxHaskell compiled fine for me on Mountain Lion with the latest wxmac from from homebrew.

Thanks to you and Henk-Jan for your help.
