[Gtk2hs-users] Success! Gtk2Hs on Mac OS without X11

[Neil B. <njb...@gm...>]

This is just to let people on this list know that I have successfully  
compiled Gtk2Hs to run with the "native" Mac OS X port of Gtk here:

	http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/

Which means it's now possible to run Gtk2Hs applications on the Mac  
without X11. I would post screenshots, but they are essentially  
identical to the X11 version save for the lack of an X icon in the Dock!

Even better, no changes whatsoever were required to Gtk2Hs. The  
process was as follows:

1) Install gtk-macosx following the instructions at http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/ 
. Note that it was necessary to patch the glib dependency (as per the  
bug report here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503334).  
However this will hopefully be unnecessary soon.
2) Ensure /opt/gtk/bin is ahead of /opt/local/bin in your PATH
3) Build Gtk2Hs from source.

Neil
