What I do for GLFW is use a dylib, then you don't rely on GHCi's static-ish linker. The only wrinkle is figuring out where you want the dylib. I think homebrew will put one in /usr/local/lib, which works out nicely, but they don't have GLFW 3 yet. Another option is to build the dylib yourself from the GLFW source bundled with the GLFW-b package, then tell cabal where to find it.
Hi, for me the problem relocates now to the "bindings-glfw" package, since the native bindings moved to this package and are wrapped up with "glfw-b". My way to the same exception already mentioned by Brian Lewis: 1) > cabal install bindings-glfw 2) > ghci 3) ghci> :m Bindings.GLFW 4) ghci> Bindings.GLFW.c'glfwInit 5) ghci terminates with exception: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSAutoreleasePool init]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fc443c01b30' Anthony Cowley mentioned to use ghci with GLFW as a dylib, I have no clue how to do this. I built the according glfw version on my own as a dylib and loaded ghci with it explicitly, this didn't help. I guess the compiled bindings-glfw is already statically packed up. How can I get ghci to use the native glfw dylib in combination with bindings-glfw? If I have to compile bindings-glfw with different settings, which settings? I have some oversight over haskell but no really deep knowledge according to bindings and lib-loading of ghci, but I'm willing to learn it ;) My Platform: - OSX 10.8.5 - ghc(i) 7.6.3 - cabal 1.18.0.1 - xcode dev tools 4.6.3 Thanks and Greetings Jan
