Isn't that what macosx-app is for? Iain Barnett wrote:
I was trying to go through some of the wxHaskell examples, and they wouldn't work on my (Tiger) mac. Same thing happened with a few other wx apps I downloaded from Hackage. A bit of a rummage on the internet turned up an issue with wxMac[1]. You need to put the haskell executable in an OSX Application Bundle or you can't get focus on the window.
Since I don't know how to use XCode (and quickly got bored of trying to find what I needed to do with it for my needs) I setup an applescript that builds a bare bones app bundle, with a basic plist file too.
This is probably something others have gone though and, just in case it might be some use to others, I stuck it here (might be a little bit of overkill using Sourceforge, but I wasn't go to pay for the download space on my blog considering I have zero cash right now).

The applescript has a perl script in it too, so you'll need perl on your machine for it to work. Everything you need to know is in the readme.
