[wxhaskell-users] Looking for macosx-app? Try cabal-macosx

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

Hi all,

The wxHaskell docs mention a shell script called macosx-app, but it got lost in our big build system cleanup.

Now we have a replacement.  Andy Gimblett's cabal-macosx package provides
- Cabal hooks to build an app bundle
- a very thin CLI wrapper called 'macosx-app'

The latter is intended for use with little one-off applications too small to merit Cabalisation.  You should be able to use it the same way as the old shell script.

The CLI is currently on GitHub only at the moment, but I think Andy is planning to upload it to Hackage :-)

We might want to consider having the wx package depend on cabal-macosx, although this isn't strictly speaking necessary

Awesome! I'm using both already, with a macosx-app script that I had 
pilfered from a StackOverflow thread. Great that it's included in the 
cabal package now.
