I'm planning to purchase a MacBookPro so I'm wondering how well Haskell is supported under this platform.
At least two of the regular contributors to GHC work on Macs. That should ensure that Mac OS X is well supported. Installation is trivial with the Mac OS X installer package:
Good advice, but I've generally found the MacPorts version more consistantly built – plus, sudo port install ghc is nice and easy :)
Hi, following on from this point:
How does one get gtk2hs running on a mac?
I have a MacBook Pro, and I've had ghc installed for some time now.
(first in 6.8.2 (packaged), then 6.10.1 (packaged), then 6.8.2 via macports 1.6 then 6.10.1 via macports 1.7)
I tried to install gtk2hs via macports, but it didn't work. (0.9.12? on 6.8.2, then on 6.10.1) Is there a recipe one could follow? Can I get the preconditions via macports, and then use cabal to install gtk2hs 0.10?
For me, this worked: sudo port install ghc sudo port install gtk2 sudo port install cairomm curl http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.10.0.tar.gz > gtk2hs-0.10.0.tar.gz tar xvfz gtk2hs-0.10.0.tar.gz normal install stuff here. Bob
