I have a GUI app that I deploy on Mac and Linux that uses OpenGL and wxHaskell. It has been a pretty good experience, but getting wx set up on every development machine is hairier than cabal install.
Is it still hairy with the 0.12 series of wxHaskell? Whereas the 0.11 series wraps around a configure/make/make install process with its Cabal file, the 0.12 series on hackage is 100% Cabal based On Ubuntu Linux, I think it was just a matter of sudo aptitude libwxgtk2.8-dev cabal install wx On MacOS X with GHC 6.10 I could just install wxWidgets (native UI) with MacPorts and cabal install wx On MacOS X with GHC 6.12, things got a little hairier with the whole iconv/MacPorts deal and I had to build my own wxWidgets and scrupulously avoid any MacPorts usage. Hopefully this is something Greg (who maintains the Haskell stuff on MacPorts) can solve in time. Thanks! -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
