I've been looking for a way to have Hugs on a Mac use a GUI toolkit like Tcl/Tk. I prowled through the various GUI libraries listed under the Libraries and Tools For Haskell page under haskell.org and found none that supported Hugs on a Mac. Did I miss something or am I out of luck?
The Hugs port that I and Pablo have done is from the point of view of GUI very no-frills, and does not support any such things: The problem is that such programming is very time-consuming, and we would need somebody that has the time and interest specializing in such programming. (I do not myself even know exactly what Tcl/Tk is, even though I have seen the name showing up here and there in the posts.) In addition, the new MacOS X is coming along, aleady existing in a beta version with GCC available. There appears to be no point in doing any more development for pre-MacOS X, and in addition, the development will probably focus on Hugs STG/GHC. If you want to experiment with GCC under MacOS X, here are some docs: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/DeveloperTools/Compiler/Compiler.... http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/SystemOverview/SystemOverview.pdf Hans Aberg
