Looks great! I think the community will really appreciate it.
And I extremely appreciate it when other people write documentation for my stuff. :-) Thanks, great job!
I will have to 'give it a whirl' myself, if I can ever get HOpenGL to compile on my solaris sparc. (I keep having trouble with 'test' in the makefiles. I must have a wierd version of test or something. I am no OS guru :) (If anyone has ever seen this problem, let me know )
Just a note: HOpenGL has been moved into GHC's fptools repository, and the tar balls on my web page are quite old. I'm not sure if they will work with more recent versions of GHC, so if you're totally stuck, join the bleeding edge and compile GHC from CVS, adding --enable-hopengl to configure's options. This builds an OpenGL package, too, but the resulting GHC doesn't know about it, so you will have to fiddle around with GHC's options a bit. Furthermore, the binding is not yet complete again, I guess about 80% has been ported. Not optimal, but I'm working on it... Alas, other Haskell systems are not yet supported, but given the recent advances in the FFI and library area, this will hopefully change in the near future. Cheers, Sven
