Thanks, David. Helpful data point.
I am using glut32 rather than freeglut (and no need for patching the darcs GLUT). I wonder if glut32-vs-freeglut could account for crash-vs-nocrash on 6.10 and 6.11 but not 6.9. I'd love to hear from someone on Windows and glut32.
Please do post a wiki page on freeglut + ghc on windows and let us know here.
Could you integrate your glutWin32 patch into the darcs GLUT?

My setup worked:Getting freeglut going with ghc on windows is a bit involved. I could write a walkthrough if there's enough interest.
- Windows XP.
- ghc-6.11.20081024
- freeglut 2.4.0
- darcs version of GLUT (with patched glutGetProcAddress [attached])
- darcs version of OpenGL
David2008/10/25 Conal Elliott <conal@conal.net>_______________________________________________I'm getting crashes from ghc-6.10.0.20081007 and ghc-6.11.20081024 when doing a very simple GLUT program (below) with OpenGL-2.2.1.1 and GLUT-2.1.1.2 (the latest from Hackage), running on WinXP. It works fine on ghc-6.9.20080622 .
I'd appreciate hearing about other attempts with these versions on Windows systems.
Thanks, - Conal
