Can't compile #1

Open fullofcaffeine opened 10 years ago

fullofcaffeine commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Haskell, GHC and cabal. I did update GHC to the latest version (7.6.3) and the platform as well. Still, when I try compiling, I get the following:

You will need to install the MissingH library http://hackage.haskell.org/package/MissingH-1.1.1.0/docs/System-Path.html

Do tell me if you any other troubles, or suggestions to making the library easier to use.

@zaxtax I am getting a different Not in scope error when compiling -- suggestions?

zaxtax commented 7 years ago

You also likely need to install MissingH

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/MissingH-1.4.0.1/docs/src/System-Path.html#absNormPath

Perhaps it's time for me to remove that dependency.

rajaiitp commented 3 years ago

hi there! any updates on fixing this. This seems to be a useful feature if it can reload, windows in the same position in the exact workspace.

I dont understand haskell syntax enough to edit the code. But from what i understand its used only to get the absolute path to the home directory or something. I dont mind if I have to hardcode this piece of info into the file. I find it hard to resolve the dependencies to have MissingH installed. Thanks!

zaxtax commented 3 years ago

It's in the MissingH library https://hackage.haskell.org/package/MissingH-1.4.3.0/docs/src/System.Path.html#absNormPath

All you need to do is cabal install MissingH --lib

im using arch. Cabal seems simple but isnt compatible with static libraries say a few wiki. I tried on stack too. similar issues. Not sure how to fix the dependencies... :(

Out of curiosity how are you building and running xmonad? Given that I think I can help better.

Originally I installed it from the arcolinux default installation process to begin with. I make changes to xmonad.hs and just run the command recompile and restart. I have been able to successfully get it working also using stack , however, the xmobar command doesnt show up to xmonad for some reason (https://brianbuccola.com/how-to-install-xmonad-and-xmobar-via-stack/). And I didnt know how to fix that, so i just reverted back. (I was supposed to add the path to the user profile and I wasnt sure, how exactly to do it) But I also think the startup is quite slow via the stack installation.

installing MissingH on stack is straightforward too i think, put these packages dont seem to get exposed. adding them to extra-deps creates dependency issues with base package.

Not sure if this makes up, but is it possible to share the ghc compiled file of saveDocument for me to add it :)

zaxtax commented 3 years ago

Give me a bit and I'll try to collect the commands that I use.

One thing that might help is building xmonad in a cabal environment and then using a build file like in https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/199#issuecomment-609433196

rajaiitp commented 3 years ago

i did use the --lib thing. but then cabal mixes up stuff from the system packages too. And then i need to uninstall my desktop window manager, which sometimes makes it unusable. I dont have cabal, so i think i should start from ghcup installation

A compilation of commands to be executed would be helpful.. thanks man!

rajaiitp commented 3 years ago

got it to compile. but it aint working.

leaving a list of commands for setting up cabal, installing xmonad, contrib, xmobar and missingH (alongside some additional functionalities)

if on arch uninstall all haskel, xmonad, xmobar.

Install ghcup and stuff that comes alongside. can skip stack and editor integrations. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh # this installs ghcup locally. Add ~/.ghcup/bin to your path

use: ghcup list : to see what version of ghc is installed and enabled by deefualt

install ghc 8.8.1 (its not a very old version. you can test with other versions too, MissingH creates base dependecy issues with latest base version) : ghcup install ghc 8.8.1 : ghcup set ghc 8.8.1 can remove other install versions using : ghcup rm ghc version

cabal new-install --lib xmonad xmonad-contrib xmobar X11 dbus MissingH cabal new-install xmobar --flags="all_extension"

use xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart

(use new-install instead of install, for some reason install does not expose the packages to ghc, check ghc-pkg list to confirm) Now we should have xmonad running. I couldnt get it to work properly with a login manager though (restart doesnt take effect if you are using a display manager, weird thingy happening) .. so just sticking to startx.

A few things in the readme, cp ViewDoc.hs ~/.xmonad/lib i dont have a lib folder and i presume, you want me to put it one. (so maybe lib/ so that it raises an error rather than rename it as lib) same here mv saveDocument /home/user/bin (maybe bin/)

these 2 lines are real confusing: $ ln -s /usr/user/bin/saveDocument /home/user/bin/gv $ ln -s /usr/user/bin/saveDocument /home/user/bin/evince

/usr/user/bin/.. did you mean /home/user/bin or /bin/some_program

are we symmlinking programs to /home/user/bin/program ?

Can you help me fix this.. thanks bro :)

wt i ended up doing mkdir ~/.xmonad/lib cp ViewDoc.hs ~/.xmonad/lib/
ghc --make saveDocument mkdir /home/raja/bin/ mv saveDocument /home/raja/bin/

ln -s /bin/emacs /home/raja/bin/emacs

opened emacs. did Mod s. closed it. then did mod shift s nothing happened :(

I should clean up the readme. Just to check when you run Mod-s does the border color change

The point of saveDocument is that to save sessions you need a way to record how different applications were run and their PIDs. The way it does this is by recording the program, it's arguments, and the PID of the running program into $HOME/.viewedDocs.

The idea being that you call gv or evince and it's really calling saveDocument which is what launches the real gv or evince. You should try to launch the symlinked emacs, see if there is an entry in $HOME/.viewedDocs, and just make sure $HOME/bin is in your path.

I wrote this a decade ago and if I did it again today I'd have an explicit wrapper program sa or session-add that worked more like rlwrap and just avoid this symlinking nonsense altogether. But for now let's focus on getting this working for you and me updating the docs so it's more clear for others how to build this.

Yup the border color does change using mod s However after closing the emacs client, nothing happens on pressing mod shift s Yup. running the symlink file causes emacs to launch, though not returning to the saved state position or workspace

zaxtax commented 3 years ago

Can you check if $HOME/bin is in your PATH and the contents of $HOME/.viewedDocs

yes it is. I exported in the .zshrc file and tested by printing in the terminal Also added it to the .profile file as I wasnt sure where exactly to add it

contents of my .viewedDocs ["bin","1492662","False","False"] ["emacs","90748","False","False"] ["emacs","90814","False","False"] ["emacs","91076","False","False"] ["emacs","1091778","False","False"] ["emacs","1092364","False","False"]

Nothing happens though when doing mod Shift s

zaxtax commented 3 years ago

So it seems to be working. I might try another application than emacs
