Hi, I had a number of problems getting the cabal packages of gtk2hs to build. I happened to be on OS X 10.6 with GHC 6.12.1.
The first problem was missing pkg-config depends for glib and gtk. I went through a few rounds of linker errors, but eventually got it working by adding some things. For glib, I needed to add to pkgconfig-depends: glib-2.0, gobject-2.0 For gtk, and the various versions listed, it was missing more pieces like gthread. pkgconfig-depends: glib-2.0, gthread-2.0, gobject-2.0, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0 Glib had nothing exposed, and in the cabal file you have, exposed: False, leading to much failure. In System.Glib.Signals, there are a few #ifdef USE_GCLOSUE_SIGNALS_IMPL However, somewhere else defines the properly spelled version of this, and more things break. However, this led me to rediscover I'm semi-using old stuff in Clutter for signals which I need to fix, but this is still broken. Gtk had various modules which were exposed and are no longer (mostly exposing types and things which I mostly use for binding Clutter). Renaming / moving around of Pango modules/paths: This mostly makes sense, but kind of annoying. More OS X specific: There was some kind of issue linking iconv, but I didn't investigate this enough. After some annoyance with 32 vs 64 bit, I ended up rebuilding all the necessary C libraries as universal binaries. I think there were some more issues, but I don't remember what they are right now.
