Hi Ashley, I guess you've heard of the announcements of the new Apple IDE announced at WWDC recently ("Xcode"). I'm at WWDC right now, and I'll do my best to talk to the Apple engineers there to make sure that all the infrastructure is in place to be able to integrate Haskell/GHC with Xcode. Xcode does look a little bit more extensible than Project Builder, but since it's in beta, not everything is actually documented/integrated yet (in particular, its native build system).
The (reduced) screen-shots of Xcode on the Apple site are so pretty I was worrying whether it would actually be as powerful as PB, which I'm fairly impressed with. I'm delighted to hear that Xcode will be even more extensible.
However, if you still want to use Project Builder, I have managed to get GHC integration going. It's not pretty (put it this way: Perl is involved ...), but it _does_ work. I'm planning to release it in ~2 weeks, but if you can't wait, email me back and I'll give you a preview if I have time :).
All my Haskell development is cross-platform at the moment, so I must use makefiles and thus "legacy" targets anyway. Though I'm sure I'll have a look at it when you've finished with it... Actually my biggest build problem at the moment is that the version of make that comes with the system is buggy. I use the make that comes with fink, but of course not everyone has that installed. Perhaps this will be fixed in the new Darwin. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA Almost empty page: http://semantic.org/
