This is why, when I developed my theorem prover, I put GUI aspects top of the list I chose wxHaskell because I wanted portability Ironically, given the thrust of this thread, I got it working without too much difficulty on Windows GHC 10.6.4, latest binaries for wxHaskell - easy to install and get working I gather several of my students have successfully done Linux builds of same I switched over recently to Mac OS X (10.6), and (more irony) am having real difficulties getting it to work - installing wxHaskell is a real bear on this platform.... The GUI theorem prover - see http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/Saoithin/ (I was going to announce this project to the Haskell Community real soon now, so I guess this is as good a time as any .....) > > -Steve Schafer > _______________________________________________ > Haskell-Cafe mailing list > Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
