Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and GUI

2008-01-18 Thread Torsten Otto 
Gee, wizzz, folks. Thank you all for the many hints. I can't say yet  
which one I'll dive into but I'm in good spirits about Haskell and GUI  
now. I like the idea of a functional approach and I don't need  
extensive GUIs either, so Grapefruit just added another candidate...  
Using the Cocoa API or AppleScript bindings is very slick (I'll look  
into that), but I think I'd rather have a platform independent  
solution for my class.
I'll do my best to post a beginners tutorial on the web where it may  
be found, but it'll likely be in German. I will definitely continue to  
recommend Haskell to my colleagues.


Thanks again for your support,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

If you really only want a simple GUI - I seem to recall you're on a  
Mac - you might even be able to get away with the AppleScript bindings:


http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/AppleScript-0.1.3

There are an example of a simple textfield GUI in the examples  
directory.


Hope this helps,

  Wouter

2008-01-15 Thread Yitzchak Gale 
btw, if you use GTK2HS on the Mac, don't forget to
start up X Windows support, and run "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
in your terminal window, before you run your program.
X Windows is usually in Applications/Utilities, but only
if you installed it manually from the Mac OS X discs,
it is not installed by default.

Good news - Gtk2 now has native support for the
Mac, so you probably won't need to run X starting
with the next version of GTK2HS.

Regard,
Yitz

i've read Gtk2Hs tutorial[1] and developed first version of GUI for my
program in 1 day

There's also the HOC (Haskell Objective-C bridge), which lets you use  
Apple's Cocoa APIs.

Gtk2hs in GHC: http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/

I like wxHaskell. It seems that GTK2HS is more active though, but I never
did manage to install it on windows.
