Hi all,

I have write Simple Manual at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Manatee

Enjoy! :)

Hello! I'm trying to follow installation steps on OpenSolaris 2009.06, but glib installation fails with: $ cabal install --user glib Resolving dependencies... Downloading glib-0.12.0... /tmp/glib-0.12.015451/glib-0.12.0/Gtk2HsSetup.hs:25:0: warning: #warning Setup.hs is guessing the version of Cabal.

Thanks, Karel PS: Manatee screenshots are amazing and your code lines list even more!

Hi all,

I am proud to announce the release my gtk2hs project : Manatee - The Haskell/Gtk+ Integrated Live Environment

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/manatee

Screenshots at : http:goo.gl/MkVw Code at https://patch-tag.com/r/AndyStewart/ beginning with manatee-*

Manatee is Haskell integrated environment written in Haskell.

The goal of the Manatee project is to provide a fast, safe and flexible integrated environment for haskell hacking.

You can consider it is new environment mix Gnome and Emacs. Like Gnome to provide friendly graphics interface and work efficient like Emacs.

Manatee use multi-processes framework, any sub-module running in separate process to protected core won't crash. So it minimize your losses when some unexpected exception throw in extension.

Now i have implement below sub-modules in Manatee:

Editor Webkit Browser File Manager Image Viewer IRC Client Multimedia Player PDF Viewer Process Manager RSS/Atom reader

...

From some friends feedback, manatee can't work in XMonad, i will fix it soon. You can play it in Gnome. Enjoy! :)

Below are steps to build Manatee:

1) Install C library: In Debian use below command:

sudo aptitude install libgtksourceview2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libwebkit-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtkimageview-dev libpoppler-glib-dev poppler-data libtagc0-dev -y

2) Install Gtk2hs:

cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools gtk

And make sure HOME.cabalbin/ in your PATH.

3) Install Manatee:

cabal install manatee-core manatee-anything manatee-browser manatee-editor manatee-filemanager manatee-imageviewer manatee-ircclient manatee-mplayer manatee-pdfviewer manatee-processmanager manatee-reader manatee

That's all, then type command manatee to play it! :)

"manatee-core" "manatee-anything" "manatee" are core packages, must be install, other extension package you can choose you want.

Example, if you not install manatee-imageviewer, when you open Image file, manatee will call default image-viewer in your system instead.

Manatee will show you "search interface" when you startup it. You can type some filepath or url to open it, example, you can type Haskell file to open in editor, and type url to open in browser.

Below are quick play keys:

"F2" ==> startProcessManager "F3" ==> startFeedReader "F4" ==> startFileManager "F5" ==> startBrowser "F6" ==> loginIrcDefaultChannel "F7" ==> startIrc

Manatee project still in early develop stage, just core framework finish, many details still not perfect.

But i think it's good start to build Real-World application in Haskell.

Below are high task in my TODO list:

Perfect current sub-module: IDE features, code completion browser JavaScript framework graphics custom system etc.

Terminal emulator: support MVC design, not like VTE widget

Mail-client

BT-Client

Proxy bridge: to build uniform proxy interface to fighting GFW!!!

Jabbar client: video support etc.

Spell checker

CHM viewer

DVI viewer

LaTex editor

PS viewer

Multi-thread download manager

Org-Mode : http://orgmode.org/

Twitter client

Network toolkit: sniffer etc.

Multi-Language translater offline support

Too many ideas lying in my TODO list....

Any suggestion and contribution are welcome! :)
