| note that these directions probably can use some cleanup, but i'm choosing these steps so that rebuilding any haskell library doesn't require remembering ANYTHING :-) | |
| (tested on ghc 7.2.2, assumes you have standard developer things installed on mac, like x11 and stuff) | |
| 1) cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools #(this should work with any haskell platform install) | |
| 2) brew install cairo gtk gettext fontconfig | |
| 3) brew link cairo gettext fontconfig # brew will complain, who cares, this makes your life easier (at least if you're living in a haskell world :p ) | |
| 4) download libfreetype, heres a URL you can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.4.8/freetype-2.4.8.tar.bz2/download?use_mirror=iweb |
