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. The good
news is that it was easy to set up a pure GLUT front end as well as a
wx one that both use the same OpenGL code for rendering graphically
intensive bits. I just have two build targets to switch between the
two.
For general cross-platform GUI apps that I need in a pinch, I turn to
PLT Scheme. They have a really excellent system in this regard.
Yeah PLT is pretty awesome... But I think they're calling it Racket now. :-)
