Good news:
I abandoned GLUT and looked at GLFW. I had similar problems getting GLFW to work with GHC and GHCi. After a bunch of hacking, I got GLFW to work for me.
Glad to hear it, but please let me know what problems you had. GLFW doesn't require MinGW/MSYS to compile. But since you have MinGW, you need to make sure PATH contains ghc-lib directory, and it must come before MinGW's path, because GHC and MinGW may be using different binutils.
I have to invoke GHCi with the command line [1] and I have to invoke the compiler like [2], but hey, it works :)
[1] "ghci
glfw_hack.o -lopengl32 -lglu32" [2] "ghc --make glfw_hack.o -lopengl32 -lglu32"
It seems that you have not been able to install the GLFW module. Which step of the Setup.hs configure/build/intall went wrong? Regards Paul Liu
