Sarah, The good news is that it *can* be done. I know because I'm on Lion, and I'm using wxHaskell.

How do you do it? The bad news is that it may still involve manually applying some patches (I'm not up to speed about the latest state of wxHaskell) and also installing wxWidgets by hand. Your two challenges are to install the right wxWidgets version with the right set of flags (you want Unicode, for starters), and then to get a version of wxhaskell that works with it. I'm using wxWidgets 2.9, for what it's worth If you use Homebrew, I have a formula for a wxmac2.9 by Alessandro Vermeulen (attached)
require 'formula'
def build_python?; ARGV.include? "--python"; end
def which_python
if ARGV.include? '--system-python'
'/usr/bin/python'
else
'python'
end
end

end
class Wxmac29 < Formula

def options
[
['--python', 'Build Python bindings'],
['--system-python', 'Build against the OS X Python instead of whatever is in the path.']
]
end
def test_python_arch
system "arch -i386 #{which_python} --version"
rescue
onoe "No python on path or default python does not support 32-bit."
puts <<-EOS.undent
Your default python (if any) does not support 32-bit execution, which is
required for the wxmac python bindings. You can install the Homebrew
python with 32-bit support by running:
brew install python --universal --framework
EOS
exit 99
end
def install_wx_python
opts = [
# Reference our wx-config
"WX_CONFIG=#{bin}/wx-config",
# At this time Wxmac is installed ANSI only
"UNICODE=0",
# And thus we have no need for multiversion support
"INSTALL_MULTIVERSION=0",
# TODO: see if --with-opengl can work on the wxmac build
"BUILD_GLCANVAS=0",
# Contribs that I'm not sure anyone cares about, but
# wxPython tries to build them by default
"BUILD_STC=0",
"BUILD_GIZMOS=0"

"--enable-unicode",

"--with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk"
# "--with-macosx-version-min=10.6"
system "make install"
if build_python?
ENV['WXWIN'] = Dir.getwd
Wxpython.new.brew { install_wx_python }
end
end
def caveats
s = <<-EOS.undent
wxWidgets 2.8.x builds 32-bit only, so you probably won''t be able to use it
for other Homebrew-installed softare on Snow Leopard (like Erlang).
EOS
if build_python?
s += <<-EOS.undent
Python bindings require that Python be built as a Framework; this is the
default for Mac OS provided Python but not for Homebrew python (compile
using the --framework option).
You will also need 32-bit support for Python. If you are on a 64-bit
platform, you will need to run Python in 32-bit mode:
arch -i386 python [args]
Homebrew Python does not support this by default (compile using the
--universal option)
EOS
end
return s
end
end
For the wxHaskell patches, unless somebody from the team obsoletes my message, you should be able to grab them at this old thread http://ur1.ca/8erik and apply them using something like darcs get --lazy http://code.haskell.org/wxhaskell the-patch-you-downloaded.dpatch cd wxhaskell darcs apply -i ~/foo/the-patch-you-downloaded.dpatch See also the NOTES file in the thread. If this helps you get set up, I think it would be fantastic service to your fellow Mac-using GUI-writing Haskellers if you could help make such a guide in http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/MacOS_X Sorry this isn't a more helpful answer. I haven't been keeping up :-( But hopefully somebody else will step into the breach and give a better guide. If you're still stuck after this, shout and I'll see if I can do more digging. -- Eric Kow <http://erickow.com>
