[Haskell-cafe] problem building hmake on Mac OS X

[Gregory Wright]

Hi Steve,

I see that Malcolm Wallace has already answered your question,
but you might be interested in some of the other haskell tools
for OS X supported under darwinports. See 
http://darwinports.opendarwin.org

hmake is supported, as well as a the new haskell-mode for emacs
and a bunch of other stuff (e.g. alex, happy, hat, buddha, haskelldb).
I support most of the tools, so feel free to ask questions.

Best Wishes,
Greg
