Hello,

the EnableGUI hack for getting a window in GHCi on Mac OS X (10.3.9 for me) unexpectedly changes the working directory for the running ghci

[...] apfelmus$ ghci -i../../Hackage/SOE/src
[...] GHC Interactive, version 6.6.1, for Haskell 98.
*Main> :! pwd
/Users/apfelmus/Documents/Programmierung/Haskell/Graphics/Kunst
*Main> enableGUI >> run lambda
Loading package OpenGL-2.2.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package GLFW-0.1 ... linking ... done.
*Main> :! pwd
/opt/local/lib/ghc-6.6.1

The effect is that reloading the Main module now fails

*Main> :r
<no location info>: can't find file: Main.hs

Any solution?


Btw, using enableGUI exactly once at the beginning of the ghci session doesn't work

*Main> enableGUI
<interactive>:
../../Hackage/SOE/src/EnableGUI.o: unknown symbol `_CPSEnableForegroundOperation'

unless ghci is started with the -framework Carbon option. But then, the working directory remains fine, so I guess the change of working directory bug happens while dynamically loading frameworks/shared libraries.

Is there a way to automate ghci ... EnableGUI -framework Carbon and typing enableGUI at the first prompt? Something like a custom shell script ghci+gui or even ghci --with-gui ?

Regards,
apfelmus
