[wxhaskell-devel] running wxhaskell apps on macos x

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

Earlier, I might have reported that running wxhakell apps on MacOS X
doesn't work from the command line anymore (except by opening the
app bundle).

I just wanted to throw in a slight twist: if you run macosx-app foo,
you can then invoke foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo in order to run your
GUI program from the command line

It's really yucky though.  Maybe somebody else will find a cleaner
way to express all this

I think macosx-app causes your problem. I can run foo and foo.app/ on
my Intel Mac environment, too.

shelarcy$ open GLMultiCanvas

shelarcy$ /Users/shelarcy/.cabal/lib/wxhaskell-0.11.0/bin/macosx-app
shelarcy$ open GLMultiCanvas.app/
shelarcy$ open GLMultiCanvas.app/Contents/MacOS/GLMultiCanvas 

But when I run macosx-app, I can't run foo anymore.

shelarcy$ open GLMultiCanvas
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10828 for the file /Users/shelarcy/Desktop/wxhaskell/samples/contrib/GLMultiCanvas.

I think reasons of this behavior is that macosx-app made classic application
(foo) and application bundle (foo.app) from foo executable file. So, when we
run macosx-app, we can't run foo without classic environment.
