Comment:
That gist says:
{{{
NOTE: on lion (and snow leopard i suppose), make sure you are using a 64
bit
install of ghc. Also, unless you are suggesting an edit to these
directions,
please go ask people on the relevant mailing list or wiki for help :)
note that these directions probably can use some cleanup, but i'm choosing
these steps so that rebuilding any haskell library doesn't require
remembering ANYTHING :-)
(tested on ghc 7.2.2, assumes you have standard developer things installed
on mac, like x11 and stuff)
1) cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools #(this should work with any haskell
platform install)
2) brew install cairo gtk gettext fontconfig
3) brew link cairo gettext fontconfig and all the other dependencies
listed for
brew's gtk formula
this is best done with by hand running brew link for each of the items
in
`brew deps gtk` along with fontconfig and gettext.
some of these will already linked, and some won't be, so this command
makes
it simpler
# brew will complain, who cares, this makes your life easier (at least if
you're
living in a haskell world :p )
NOTE: you will need to make sure that all these Brew libs are built, and
linked in
4) download libfreetype, heres a URL you can use
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.4.8/freetype-2.4.8.tar.bz2/download?use_mirror=iweb
5) unpack libfreetype, and then run
./configure ; make ; make install
this will install the static and dynamic library files for lib freetype
in
/usr/local/ (../include and ../lib) , which is what you'll want, though
this will
contribute to brew doctor complaining, but again, this is the easiest
way
6) cabal install gtk
this should work sans complaints!
now you can eg
cabal install chart-gtk
and run
this https://gist.github.com/1655252 example chart code either by building
with
ghc and running the executable
or by running main in ghc, and
or
try out some other cool libraries like diagrams!
