BTW, there is a nice native version of GTK for Mac OS X as a proper framework: http://www.gtk-osx.org/ Unfortunately, it seems rather difficult to build gtk2hs with the GTK+ framework as the framework doesn't support pkg-config and gtk2hs knows nothing about Mac frameworks. However, GHC has support for frameworks; so, it should be possible to get this to work. Manuel Arne Dehli Halvorsen:

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:
http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_10_1.html#macosxintel 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?
Grateful for assistance, Arne D H
