Compiling GLFW / SOE on Windows
Hi, This might be a tip for people trying to compile the GLFW package bundled with SOE on Windows. I had to because I slightly modified the GLFW source code. The SOE readme.txt says: "For Win32 users, you'll need MinGW environment to compile GLFW. If "make win32-mgw" is unable to execute compile.bat propperly, use "compile.bat mgw". Please also make sure that your MinGW path should come before the GHC's gcc-lib path in the PATH environment." However, the readme.html file has the following note: Do not use the MSYS shell for compiling GLFW, because the supplied batch file "compile.bat" will only work under a Windows command prompt (or MS-DOS prompt). To get it working, I basically needed to modify my PATH environment variable so that it contains the MSYS bin folder (in my case C:\app\msys\1.0\bin), and then run "COMPILE.bat make mgw" file using the Windows command prompt (CMD.EXE) instead of the MSYS unix shell emulator... Cheers, Peter
Ø However, the readme.html file has the following note: That should have been the GLFW readme.html file PS: Why do I always see these errors *after* I already posted to the forum? ;) This is actually one advantage of web-based forums, you can always edit the original message J From: haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Peter Verswyvelen Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 9:30 PM To: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Subject: [Haskell-cafe] Compiling GLFW / SOE on Windows Hi, This might be a tip for people trying to compile the GLFW package bundled with SOE on Windows.
