[Haskell-cafe] Status of Haskell under OsX

[Manuel M T Chakravarty]

BTW, there is a nice native version of GTK for Mac OS X as a proper  
framework:

   http://www.gtk-osx.org/

Unfortunately, it seems rather difficult to build gtk2hs with the GTK+  
framework as the framework doesn't support pkg-config and gtk2hs knows  
nothing about Mac frameworks.  However, GHC has support for  
frameworks; so, it should be possible to get this to work.
