Re: Fwd: Re: Hugs and Mac and GUI
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.
Compiling Hugs on MacOS X is no problem, that is, it runs after compiling and installing with the standard pre-beta macosx developer tools. GHC is a bit more of a problem; I am currently busy trying to port GHC (with help from the GHC team). So stay tuned. -- - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University /|\ Tel.: +31-30-2534093/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze / | \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 | Email: atze@cs.uu.nl /--| \ atze.dijkstra@hetnet.nl / |___|

This sounds great. I have a long time ago compiled Hugs with GCC under the Tenon Mach/BSD, similar to the combination of MacOS X, and as I recall, it compiled without a hitch. So the "biggie" is what you can do with GHC: Any progress you can make there is gratefully accepted. If one wants to make a standalone Hugs with a GUI, then it might be possible to strip out some of the stuff that we have done for the current Mac Hugs. (For example, it will probably be interesting to experiment with the MacOS high-level events.)
