[hoc-users] Can mortals build the latest source?

[Lachlan O'D. <lo...@ma...>]

Hi,

I think this is still the place to ask HOC questions. I noticed that  
work has been going on in the Google Code repository to support  
Objective-C 2, and thought it would be fun to give it a try. But I  
can't figure out how to build it. I got the impression that the build  
system was changed to Cabal fairly recently. I seem to be able to  
build the HOC module itself, but I think I also need to build  
InterfaceGenerator2 as well, and use that to create the Haskell  
interfaces for the Cocoa APIs. Is that how it works?

The InterfraceGenerator2/README file says:

> This is (mostly) a rewrite of the interface generator.
>
> *) Theoretically, the new code is more maintainable and extendable.
> *) Supports separate conversion of frameworks.
>
> It is not yet integrated into the HOC build system; build it  
> manually using Cabal.

But I can't find a .cabal file there.

Lachlan.
