It currently works with Gtk+ 2.0 through to 2.8 on Unix, Win32 and MacOS X. The widget function coverage is almost complete, only a few minor bits and pieces are missing.
It currently builds with ghc 5.04.3 through to 6.8.2

4 Installation Notes
[edit]
4.1 Mac OS X
Installing Gtk2Hs on Mac requires some finesse, at least until Haskell Libary Platform is built or ghc-6.8.3 is available in macports. (These are planned for late 2008.)
- Install MacPorts
- Install dependencies:
sudo port instll glade3 libglade2 gstreamer gst-plugins-base gtksourceview cairo librsvg gtkglext firefox
- Update PKG_CONFIG_PATH (for libraries)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
- Update ghc to use macports libs: Edit your main ghc driver program and change the last line to:
exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"} -L/opt/local/lib -I/opt/local/include
- Download Gtk2Hs following instructions at Gtk2Hs Download page
- Check configuration:
./configure --enable-docs --enable-profiling
...
