Haskell Xcode Plugin (beta)
Tue, Feb 13 2007: Current (beta) version is Feb-07-07.
Introduction
This is a plugin for Apple's Xcode,
which allows one to develop Haskell tools, libraries, and applications. See below for screenshots.
Features
- Compiling and Linking
- Source code highlighting for: .hsc .cabal .lhs, and basic Haddock doc comments
- Errors and warnings with source locations (jump to)
- Basic project templates *
- Basic Cabal support
- File templates for:
- Modules
- FFI modules
- hsc2hs modules
- Cabal packages for executable and library types
- Literal haskell modules
- ⌘- for [un]commenting (Option-minus)
- GHCi works in Xcode's pseudo terminal
- One can build full Cocoa applications (* manually, will provide example)
- Xcode identifier/word completion works well
- Various text macros: eg. let=$x, ffi import/export, type signatures
Missing Features
- GHC compiler and linker options are not working (manually, see HYCompilerSpecificationHaskell.m)
- Scanning modules for dependencies
- Scanning modules for C stub generated and hsc2hs dependencies
- Cabal integration (project - Cabal does not compile-what-is-needed anyway)
- GHCi integration (ie. "Evaluate Selection" or "Load Module into GHCi")
- Cocoa applications with full Objective-C support, see example below
- Haskell symbol parsing for completion and Xcode navigation and search
- More Xcode perl scripts ie. GHCi commands
- More text macros
- Project templates
- Proper/formal customizable installation procedure/process
- Building libraries without Cabal is untested.
Getting Started
- Download the (beta) Haskell Plugin for Xcode
- Open the Xcode project contained within
- Build this project; all necessary files are installed into the right places.
- Restart Xcode for the plugin to become loaded into the application environment.
- Create a new empty project.
- Create target for your project, Haskell > Shell Tool
- Add file to project and target, Main.hs
- Write some Haskell, Build and Run as necessary =)
