I want to use wxHaskell on OS X (Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro). I was able to install the library successfully and the script below:
module Main where
import Graphics.UI.WX
main :: IO ()
main = start hello
hello :: IO ()
hello
= do f <- frame [text := "Hello!"]
quit <- button f [text := "Quit", on command := close f]
set f [layout := widget quit]
does result in a window being displayed with a single button, as specified. However, nothing happens when I click the button - I don't even get the visual response of the button turning blue to indicate that it's been depressed (haha, no pun intended).
I've heard that you have to run a package called "macosx-app" on wxHaskell binaries to get them to run, but I can't find this anywhere. It's not on my machine or (as far as I can tell) in the WX or wxHaskell distros.
Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?
