Heavy trading today as ERMX announced its launch of digital support
tools for its portfolio companies. Brokers are getting ahead of this
steady climb as they grab up large blocks of shares for there clients.
Look at the numbers and get on ERMX Friday morning!

own as largely thoughtful dialogues on craft. Steven, maybe Ringo wants
his own "Ringo is dead" rumor . It's a gorgeous, absorbing package and

Compile error Types.hi bad interface file

Hi,

since it seems that the list becomes more active again and since the
ICFP isn't far away I tried to compile my old sources. Unfortunately I
can't compile the wxHaskell source. I tried the zipped sources and the
cvs repo and got the same error message every time after several minutes
of compiling. This is the output of the cvs version:

you'll want the darcs version

wxHaskell doesnt show windows correctly

Hi again,

after compiling the darcs version, wxHaskell seemed to work.
But something is wrong with the fonts. I don't see any menu entries 
but they seem to be there because I can click on them and they pop
open. The title bar of the wx windows only show the first letter of the
full name. For instance the bouncing ball demo works fine except that I
don't see any text (ok.. the "B" in the title bar).

Can anyone figure out where this comes from? The ghc compiles without
warning or error. 

I compiled successfully the treectrl.cpp from wxwindows and it looked
fine. It looked as fine as my gimp which uses the gtk.
Is there anything more I can do?

Cheers
 Patrick

Sounds like it's Unicode-related.  The darcs version of wxhaskell wants
a unicode-enabled wxWidgets underneath.

Sorry!  I wasn't thinking about that when I suggested the upgrade.

pinging wxhaskell...

Hi wxhaskellers,

Just forwarding a comment from Neil on Haskell Café.  He has expressed a
similar sentiment on #haskell a long time ago (which I think I have
relayed as well).

For the record, my participation in this project consists of reviewing
incoming patches (if nobody else does), and pushing them to darcs.  To
be honest, I'm stretched too thin for even this meager job.  Luckily,
there have not been any patches for a while :-/.

That said, I think wxhaskell is really handy.  I like having a native
GUI on every major platform (may not be perfect, but is a good
compromise) and I like the relatively high level library.  So it would
be *really* nice to keep this project alive.  I'll bet other users on
this list agree with this sentiment.

Jeremy and friends: anybody still have time to be working on this?  And
wxhaskell-users, are any of you willing to step up and take over the
patch review job?

Thanks!

I just want to make it clear than I appreciate the work that has been
done with wxHaskell, and indeed, it was the first Haskell GUI I
started using. I have no particular desire for wxHaskell to be
extended, but because every successive version of GHC is incompatible
with the binaries, it is essential (in my opinion) that each GHC
release has a corresponding wxHaskell Windows binary.

I'm guessing that the job of producing a Windows installer is fairly
easy, given the right build setup. Is there no Windows wxHaskell
developer who is in a position to do this?

Thanks

Neil

Yep! I didn't feel any acrimony in your mail.  Was forwarding it because I
thought it was a useful remark and we needed the poke

Indeed.  In Jeremy's 'Reviving wxHaskell' mail, we had fixed some modest
objectives, which were

>> * Patches to ensure that wxHaskell compiles against latest wxWidgets
>>   versions on Mac, Linux and Windows (exists today)

Well, we got that working for wxWidgets 2.6, but this is a moving target
and now it no longer compiles with 2.8.  There is a hack floating around
on the net which consists of using 2.4 compatibility and telling wxhaskell
that really it's compiling against 2.4.  Not sure that's the right way to
go about it though.  Alas, we are moving more slowly than our target.

>> * Add Eric Kow's Unicode patches (exist today)

Check.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to back this up with any
