For Mac and Windows several of us have invested substantial time to create a system that can produce the Haskell Platform installers.

Judging from the complexity of the installation instructions for both Gtk2hs and Gtk, and the fact that the Gtk project itself has never managed to create such an installer, it would probably require substantially more effort than we've put into the HP installers. > > > To be honest, I've got no magic that can fix the installation problems that neither Gtk nor Gtk2hs have made any headway in fixing themselves.
So is the consensus that this would be a good idea (assuming that the included packages met all of the usual requirements for HP inclusion), but there's a lack of person-power to do it? _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
