However, when building the Haskell GLUT 'Hello World' it uses, -lGLU to link GLUT, but that does not work; however, from the config.log output configure seems to think that -lGL should work. Is there a way I can change the build to use -lglut? Maybe with configure I can specify that -lglut is the correct way to link the GLUT libraries?
Actually config.log said -lGLU worked. If it's not present, maybe the simplest solution is to make a symlink. (It would only need to be present for compilation; ld will use the SONAME entry in the library to find the runtime name, so it'll correctly use libglut.so.) Fixing it at the level of the configure script is less than simple; you would need to modify configure.in and run autoreconf on it to produce a fixed configure (and you're in trouble if you have an older autotools than was used to create it originally). -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
