Re: [Haskell-cafe] XCode Dependency for HP on Mac

 Is there a way to install HP without XCode? Could there be in the
 future? I'm tired of dealing with Apple's constant upgrade
 requirements, registration requirements, etc., and it seems like a
 small function that XCode actually performs in the Haskell development
 toolchain.
 Again, I'm ignorant of the details and I'm sorry if this is ranty, but
 I'd love to hear your reactions.
 
 Thanks!

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but it came up on Google when I was 
searching around for an answer to this. So maybe I can still help 
someone.

10.6 users can use this installer on GitHub 
https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer. It 
installs gcc and a few other bits and pieces (less than a GB to install). 
Then you can install the Haskell Platform. It's worked for me so far! Enjoy!

Thanks,
Andrew

 As the README at that repository states, For 10.7 and later Apple now
 distributes a Command Line Tools package on the developer site.
 When I build and release the Haskell Platform, I confirm that works 
 when just this package is installed (rather than all of Xcode).

Hi Mark,

I will keep you updated, the issue is that I refuse to upgrade to 10.7 or later,
many of the brilliant features from Snow Leopard were entirely ruined and
I still see people complaining about having trouble with it on my model of
MacBook.

So for 10.6 users, this 3rd part installer is the only option I could find!

Thanks,
Andrew
