I've tried installing it on OSX El Captain. I used stack init --solver; stack build and got:

Please install `gtk2hs-buildtools` first and check that the install directory is in your PATH (e.g. HOME/.cabal/bin)."

I installed it through stack and got:

The program 'pkg-config' version >=0.9.0 is required but it could not be found.

I installed it through homebrew and got:

The pkg-config package 'cairo' version >=1.2.0 is required but it could not be found.

I don't know how I'm supposed to proceed. Seems like I am missing something here. Please add install instructions.

Thanks for the report. stack is trying to build with GHC instead of GHCJS, and therefore trying to pull in some C libraries that you don't need if you intend to use GHCJS. Try the following stack.yaml and let us know if you run into further problems.

# For more information, see: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/release/doc/yaml_configuration.md

@hamishmack What do you think of adding a stack.yaml to make this more straightforward?
