@hackage hs-fltk0.2.5

Haskell interface to the FLTK window toolkit

• Built using Cabal with hacks.
• For more information about FLTK see www.fltk.org
• Porting to windows should be possible, but I don't have the resources to do it.

Dependencies

• A very recent version of Cabal is needed
  • 17.11. support for C-Sources in subdirs
  • 6.12. Extra-Lib-Dirs support - not necessary on all platforms.
• Works with both GHC 6.2 and the CVS version of GHC.
• FLTK 1.1 headers and library
• No direct dependency on libstdc++ although libfltk does depend on it. This is to avoid issues with linkers doing nasty things.

Building

• Download and unpack.

• Build and install through Cabal as for other Haskell packages:

  runhaskell Setup configure --user --prefix=$HOME
  runhaskell Setup build
  runhaskell Setup install --user
  

(You may want to remove the --user flag when installing as root.)

• see example/
• library errors are most likely due to missing symlinks e.g. libfltk.so -> libfltk.so.1, if someone knows how to fix this with Cabal please tell.

TODO

• GHCI support is broken due to GHC not supporting weak (W) symbols properly.
• The Hugs Debian package is not usable.
