Hi Howard, As you've probably experienced, compiling Hugs under MacOS X is failry straightforward, and the current CVS version of Hugs actually compiles right out of the box. To download a copy, go to cvs.haskell.org and follow the instructions. The next official Hugs release (which is slightly delayed but still due this summer) will of course support MacOS X as well. However, only the standard text-based interface is supported, and no graphics libraries have yet been ported to MacOS X as far as I know. A more advanced GUI similar to the WinHugs interface would of course be neat, but in my mind a port of Alastair Reid's Graphics Library library would be much more valuable. So if you'd like to have a go with such an effort, it would be much appreciated. Please contact me or Alastair Reid <reid@cs.utah.edu> if you'd like to discuss this in more detail. Thanks for your interest! All the best, Johan On Monday, July 16, 2001, at 08:06 PM, Howard Oakley wrote:

Although I have seen ports of HUGS and GHC to Mac OS X beta, is anyone actively working on ports for the release version of OS X?
(I have the current HUGS up and running, and am looking at porting one or more of the compilers when life quietens down a bit towards the end of this month. Has anyone any server space to hold binaries? Although new to Haskell, I'm fairly experienced at porting to Mac and OS X, including LAM and Charm++. I'm also wondering about interfaces between Haskell and OS X graphics etc....)
