Build & installation

As of 2014-08-11:

Prerequisites:
- install wxWidgets (2.9.3 ... 3.0.2) directly from a source release or use a platform specific installer.
  - if installed from source release configure with ./configure --disable-debug_flag # to avoid debugging popups
Development build using cabal-dev inside the wxHaskell directory:

bin/mk-devel # edit the search path in the file so the generated wxdirect is used

Then use via the resulting package configuration cabal-dev/packages-7.6.3.conf (or any other compiler version)

Clean:

bin/mk-devel-clean
Install globally via cabal

bin/mk-cabal

Clean:

bin/mk-cabal-clean

Note: cabal and cabal-dev builds share the same build directory. Should not be a problem though...

Platform specifics

MacOSX:

20130725: homebrew (http://brew.sh/) does not yet install wxWidgets 2.9.5 (by means of 'brew install wxmac').
