Has anyone succeeded in getting it running on OSX/intel at all? ...I had a brief go a few weeks back, managed to get the Cairo Clock running, but anything that used GTK seemed to blow up instantly. (OSX/ ppc was fine). --Ben On 13 Nov 2006, at 19:03, Duncan Coutts wrote:

afaik, there are just two good enough libs - wxHaskell and GtkHs. can anyone point (or write) detailed comparison of their features?
One point in wxHaskell's favour is that it supports Mac OS X directly. At present, to the best of my knowledge, you can only run GtkHs applications on OS X using the X Windows server. Whilst this works, it's a _long_ way from native look and feel.
This is quite true. Fortunately the Gtk+ folk are well underway with a project to make it all more native looking. The latest released version of Gtk+ 2.10.x has 'experimental' support for running on OSX without using X11. The next step (apart from general bug fixing) is to use the right native theme.
So yes, at the moment it doesn't look native on OSX but hopefully in the future it will. You can read more about that here:
