[Haskell-cafe] Re: Trying to compile Glade Gtk2Hs demo / cabal install glade problem

[Peter Schmitz]

Thanks so very much Axel and Ivan.
You were both absolutely correct and I can compile Glade apps now fine.
Great help!

The tricky part (for me) would have been looking at the error from
cabal install glade:
      "setup.exe: The pkg-config package libglade-2.0 version >=2.0.0
is required but it could not be found."
and determining that the problem was that libglade-2.0.pc needed the
edit you described,
but I made the edit and it all works now.

And I guess I don't need these edits to cabal/config after all:
-- --------------------------------
-- extra-include-dirs:
-- extra-lib-dirs:
extra-include-dirs: H:\proc\tools\Gtk+\include
extra-lib-dirs: H:\proc\tools\Gtk+\lib
-- --------------------------------



New "cabal install glade" after libglade-2.0.pc edit:

    H:\proc\dev\cmd>pkg-config  --modversion  libglade-2.0
2.6.4

H:\proc\dev\cmd>cabal install glade
