That should have been “the  GLFW readme.html file”…

PS: Why do I always see these errors *after* I already posted to the forum? ;) This is actually one advantage of web-based forums, you can always edit the original message J

Subject: [Haskell-cafe] Compiling GLFW / SOE on Windows

Hi,

This might be a tip for people trying to compile the GLFW package bundled with SOE on Windows. I had to because I slightly modified the GLFW source code.

The SOE readme.txt says:

“For Win32 users, you'll need MinGW environment to compile

GLFW. If "make win32-mgw" is unable to execute compile.bat

propperly, use "compile.bat mgw". Please also make sure

that your MinGW path should come before the GHC's gcc-lib

path in the PATH environment.”

However, the readme.html file has the following note:

Do not use the MSYS shell for compiling GLFW, because the supplied batch

file "compile.bat" will only work under a Windows command prompt (or MS-DOS

prompt).

To get it working, I basically needed to modify my PATH environment variable so that it contains the MSYS bin folder (in my case C:\app\msys\1.0\bin), and then run “COMPILE.bat make mgw” file using the Windows command prompt (CMD.EXE) instead of the MSYS unix shell emulator...

Cheers,

Peter
