And even then, your
developed application will only run on Windows boxes that have GTK+
installed (i.e., none of them).
You can copy GTK+ DLLs with application.
It works very well.

Hi,
I would like to see that we add gtk2hs and/or wxHaskell to the Haskell
Platform.
That would improve the situation!
I used gtk2hs and found it usable to build a cross platform GUI App. On
Windows you
need an installer, which includes the gtk library part. There are some (on
Windows quite

There are issues, yes, and you may need the MinGW tool chain to get the GUI
packages to build and install properly, but it does work. I have blogged
about some of my experiences, both good and bad, at
http://jpmoresmau.blogspot.com/. What GUI tool specifically do you want to
use?

There are lots of Windows developers
I imagine that getting Haskell GUI libraries set and playing nice with
the native GTK libs is a pain on Windows.
That said, I know that Haskell has very nice Lua bindings and Lua has
pretty mature GTK bindings. Has anyone tried developing their UI in
Lua with Haskell doing all the heavy lifting?

Two obvious solutions.
- stop using Windows and migrate to an OS where stuff works pretty much out

- start helping to make things work on
