A Haskell binding to the X11 graphics library.

Haskell binding to the X11 graphics library

To build this package using Cabal directly from Git, you must run autoreconf before the usual Cabal build steps (configure/build/install). autoreconf is included in the GNU autoconf tools. There is no need to run the configure script: the cabal configure step will do this for you.

If you are building from a source tarball, you can just use the standard Cabal installation stanza:

cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install

Xinerama support is enabled by default if Xinerama headers are detected. To disable Xinerama support, add the --without-xinerama flag to configure-option:

cabal configure --configure-option="--without-xinerama"

However, if you are building from Git, X11 uses autoconf, so you need to have autoconf installed and run autoconf/autoheader before building:

autoconf
autoheader

or

autoreconf

You will need development versions of at least the X11, xrandr, and Xinerama libraries installed for the build to succeed; having the development version of the XScreenSaver library will enable some optional bindings.
