[Haskell-cafe] Installing wxHaskel on Snow Leopard

[Eduardo Sato]

Would it be necessary to change Info.plist?

It would be nice being able to distribute haskell apps in general, not only wxHaskell apps. One can certainly write the UI in C++/Objective C, or what have you, and use FFI to call haskell libraries. But I am also interested in writing an app 100% in haskell. Has anyone done that?

Brandon: sorry for replying directly to you.

I know in theory how to deal with this (copy the necessary libraries into the app bundle and use install_name_tool to adjust the references to be bundle-relative) but could not give you exact details.
