Hi Christoph,
may I ask if anybody had any success using the Hugs Graphics Library with ghc? I did get it to compile and link, but it insists displaying most graphics in black on a black background which somewhat diminishes the viewing enjoyment.
I compiled the stuff a while ago (with GHC 5.02.1): http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell%40haskell.org/msg09806.html and it works all fine with colours and such. You didn't say which version of the HGL you compiled. The one that's in the 5.02.2 source tarball? I append the answer to a question that I got after the above posting re how to build the things. Cheers, Manuel -=-
3) what was the main thing you needed to do to make it work ? Could I just checkout the current cvs version of ghc and hslibs and make it work, or did you guys do something special ?
We took the standard release of 5.02.1 and * applied our patches (the same that are in the CVS HEAD now), * updated the hslibs/xlib/ and hslibs/graphics/ subtree to the latest CVS version, * added green-card (needed to compile xlib), and [This step might not be required for win32.] * used some slightly weird sequence of `make' commands to build the whole thing. (The exact combination of commands is encoded in the rpm .spec file that is in the source rpm package if you want to have a look at it, but the sequence will be somewhat different for win32.)
