Hi, I thought this thread suggested that a cabal install wx would now work? I just tried it and got:
... generated 2439 constant definitions ok. setup.exe: wx-config: does not exist cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: wx-0.12.1.4 depends on wxcore-0.12.1.4 which failed to install. wxcore-0.12.1.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 If wxHaskell could be installed with one cabal command that would be incredibly cool :-) Thanks, Neil On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 6:26 PM, Jeremy O'Donoghue <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Daniel, > > On Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:31 +0100, "Daniel Fischer" > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Am Mittwoch 17 Februar 2010 12:17:10 schrieb Jeremy O'Donoghue: >> > You're probably correct about the dependencies.
