Great! So hopefully all the work targeting 2.9.x pays off now, and it's just a matter of bumping a few version numbers in the build files?

How far do you reckon wxHaskell is from its next release?

Thanks! :-)

There are no version numbers of wxWidgets in wxHaskell, it is a matter of
indicating where the wxWidgets installation is, against which you want to
build. There may be some differences between wxWidgets 2.9.5 and 3.0.0,
that may require changes in wxHaskell; not all previous changes in
wxWidgets are processed so far.

It is difficult to say, whether or not we want to release the current
wxHaskell; there is a difference of day and night, as far as Windows users
is concerned, as the current Hackage package cannot be installed on a
Windows computer. There are, however, still serious bugs in the GitHub
version.

I spoke too soon, the setup of wxc contains a version number (2.9); I will
try to get things working for both 2.9 and 3.0.

Any progress on this.(Macports does not supply wx Widgets 2.9 anymore just 3.0)

Thanks

I hoped that someone could tell me that wxHaskell works fine with
wxWidgets 2.9.5 on OS X, so that we can release the current version. (The
most recent version of wxHaskell on Hackage does not compile on Windows.)
For wxWidgets 3.0, there are several updates necessary; debugging is
however an enormous amount of work, as long as wxHaskell does not run
within GHCi. The scientific way to update wxHaskell would be to study all
changes in wxWidgets, but that is also an enormous amount of work.

For proper debugging it would be an big improvement, if we had a debugger
that would step through both Haskell and C/C++ code.
