netwire-classics's Issues

Hidden dependency of ka1.ttf

Strange font there, had to download a copy of it from someplace else to get it working. Maybe consider including it in the repo.

Cannot build asteroids

I tried building asteroids with GHC 7.8.3, with Cabal sandbox, and failed. I suppose the whole repo should indicate what versions of GHC it can build with.

[14 of 16] Compiling Graphics.UI.SDL.Events ( dist/dist-sandbox-39727611/build/Graphics/UI/SDL/Events.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-39727611/build/Graphics/UI/SDL/Events.o )

Graphics/UI/SDL/Events.hsc:56:23:
    Module ‘Data.Typeable’ does not export ‘Typeable(typeOf)’

building netwire-classics

I'm sure I'm missing something trivial, but I'm not sure how to build this.

I tried using nix, but I get:

$ nix-shell
error: attribute ‘cabal’ missing, at /src/netwire-classics/default.nix:4:4

$ nix-env -q
cabal-install-1.22.6.0
cabal2nix-20150922
ghc-7.10.2
nix-1.10

modernize to netwire 5

It would be nice to be able to use the latest netwire library version 5 with netwire-classics.

trouble installing with cabal

I get the following error:

Any ideas? Arch Linux, GHC 7.6.3
