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.
