Re: [wxhaskell-users] Working guide for wxWidgets and wxHaskell on Mac OS X Lion 64 bit

Sarah,

The good news is that it *can* be done.  I know because I'm on Lion, and I'm using wxHaskell.

The bad news is that it may still involve manually applying some patches (I'm not up to speed about the latest state of wxHaskell) and also installing wxWidgets by hand.

Your two challenges are to install the right wxWidgets version with the right set of flags (you want Unicode, for starters), and then to get a version of wxhaskell that works with it.  I'm using wxWidgets 2.9, for what it's worth

If you use Homebrew, I have a formula for a wxmac2.9 by Alessandro Vermeulen (attached)
