Re: [Haskell-cafe] install trouble with SDL on win32+cygwin

Thanks very much for the pointer, Bit. I had to add "\SDL" to the end of this def: Include-Dirs: C:\SDL-1.2.12\include and I didn't need to change the Extra-Libraries line. I'm using cygwin, which may make a difference here. Next, I 'cabal install'ed SDL-ttf and discovered that I need the SDL_ttf lib, which I got, but I don't know where to unpack it so that the (Haskell) SDL-ttf will find it. Suggestions? - Conal On Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 12:11 PM, Bit Connor wrote:

SDL works great on Windows, and you don't even need cygwin. Only ghc is required. There are instructions in the WIN32 file.

Now I have sdl-config, but still not able to build.

Does *anyone* have the SDL package running on Windows?

If not, is GLFW the recommended cross-platform GL toolkit?

Thanks, - Conal

I'm trying to install the SDL package (on win32+cygwin), and configure isn't able to find my SDL.dll, though it's on my PATH. Any ideas? - Conal

bash-3.2$ cabal install SDL 'SDL-0.5.3' is cached. [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.lhs, dist\setup/Main.o ) Linking dist\setup\setup.exe ... Configuring SDL-0.5.3... checking for sdl-config... no

I currently am not running cygwin, so I could be wrong, but the lack of sdl-config is a red flag. Have you installed sdl and sdl-devel (I think those are the package names) with the cygwin installer yet?
