Download

You can download either a source or binary distribution. The documentation and samples are normally included in binary distributions. After installation, you should try some of the samples to see if everything works as expected:

> cd samples/wx
> ghc -package wx -o helloworld HelloWorld.hs
> ./helloworld

You can also use GHCi – a great development environment for GUI's! (Unfortunately, GHCi only works well on Windows platforms at the moment)

> ghci -package wx HelloWorld.hs
*Main> main

See the documentation for more information about wxHaskell.

(MacOS X, ghc 6.2)
Not yet available. Here is the MacOS X situation as of Feb 23 2004:
