[wxhaskell-users] Cabal Setup.lhs for wxhaskell

[Eric Y. K. <eri...@gm...>]

Dear (wx)Haskellers,

I have recently been switching some of my GUI software to Cabal (from my
clunky ad-hoc Makefiles).  As you might aware, wxhaskell apps on MacOS X
require the macosx-app script to be run on the executable or else the
GUI doesn't respond at all; it just sits there looking pretty.
 (if anybody wants to fill me in on the technical details, I would
  be curious/interested).

Attached is a Setup.lhs file which uses an install hook to run that
script once you have installed your program.  Note that it optionally
allows to specify what script to run, in case you have a special
version, which for example, attaches as icon to your app.

Any comments, suggestions for improvements, simpler means of going about
the same task?

Thanks,
