Duane - yes, please. I've been wondering how to compile to a Mac .app structure. Also, anyone have any hints about distributing Haskell apps for mac, when you know the target will certianly *not* have a GHC environment on it? Thanks --ts On Mar 21, 2009, at 2:18 PM, Duane Johnson wrote:

If you're on a Mac and would like help compiling to a .app folder, let me know and I can post how I did that.

Neat, thanks for that tip Peter. It looks like mkbundl does everything I do manually, and more. But just for the record, in case anyone (Scott?) wants to do it the hard way... :) 1. Download the macosx-app shell script from wxhaskell. Make it executable (i.e. "chmod a+x macosx-app") 2. Run "macosx-app [executable-filename]", e.g. "macosx-app Playground" 3. Run "open [generated app directory]", e.g. "open Playground.app" I also blogged about it here. Duane Johnson http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ On Mar 24, 2009, at 4:48 PM, Peter Verswyvelen wrote:

GHC statically links everything, so you don't need the GHC environment to run the app.
