Problem summary Trying to build a stand-alone executable GLUT app with ghc, Windows XP Problem description I compile and link (without errors) a simple GLUT application under Windows XP. When I run it, XP pops an error window saying the app cannot start due to a missing "glut32.dll". I want to do a static build to create a stand-alone executable GLUT app under Windows XP, without using DLL files, or placing any files in the Windows system dir. This is my first GUI code in Haskell, and I chose GLUT because it is a standard library. Following are some details. Thanks much for any advice. Source code -- Simple GLUT app to create a window module Main(main) where import Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL import Graphics.UI.GLUT main = do (progname, _) <- getArgsAndInitialize createWindow "Hello World" mainLoop Compile/run Environment ghc-6.8.2 on a USB flashdrive under a non-admin Windows XP account ghc dir is not on C: E:\apps\ghc\ghc-6.8.2 XP shell used: cmd.exe shell path E:\ghcTest>path PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;E:\apps\ghc\ghc-6.8.2\bin;.\ ghc library path E:\ghcTest>ghc --print-libdir E:/apps/ghc/ghc-6.8.2 compile/link output E:\ghcTest>ghc --make x -package GLUT [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( x.hs, x.o ) Linking x.exe ...

Re-installing the application may fix this problem. No output in shell; no glut window is created.
