ghc-6.11 + OpenGL/GLUT crashes on WinXP

5:14 p.m.

I'm getting crashes from ghc-6.10.0.20081007 and ghc-6.11.20081024 when doing a very simple GLUT program (below) with OpenGL-2.2.1.1 and GLUT-2.1.1.2 (the latest from Hackage), running on WinXP. It works fine on ghc-6.9.20080622 . I'd appreciate hearing about other attempts with these versions on Windows systems. Thanks, - Conal import Graphics.UI.GLUT main :: IO () main = do putStrLn "Initializing" getArgsAndInitialize return ()

My setup worked: - Windows XP. - ghc-6.11.20081024 - freeglut 2.4.0 - darcs version of GLUT (with patched glutGetProcAddress [attached]) - darcs version of OpenGL Getting freeglut going with ghc on windows is a bit involved. I could write a walkthrough if there's enough interest. David 2008/10/25 Conal Elliott

I'm interested; please write a wiki page about this. Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://functor.bamikanarie.com http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ -- On Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:48:59 +0100, David Sankel wrote:

Thanks, David. Helpful data point. I am using glut32 rather than freeglut (and no need for patching the darcs GLUT). I wonder if glut32-vs-freeglut could account for crash-vs-nocrash on 6.10 and 6.11 but not 6.9. I'd love to hear from someone on Windows and glut32. Please do post a wiki page on freeglut + ghc on windows and let us know here. Could you integrate your glutWin32 patch into the darcs GLUT? - Conal On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 8:48 AM, David Sankel wrote:

Windows XP with SP3 ghc-6.10.20081007 glut32 Works fine for me. Taking a look at my GL headers, I did have to mess with at least glut.h to get something to work---whether it was to build HOpenGL, to make programs linkable, or to make them runnable, I'm not sure. In any case, what I did was force GLUTAPIENTRY to be #defined as __stdcall.

Conal, are you using display lists at all? I've had problems with allocating lists, but you seem to be able to leave off the allocation step in Windows on nVidia cards so long as you're careful not to conflict names yourself. On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 4:03 PM, Matti Niemenmaa wrote:

No display lists. The crash happens during the GLUT call "initialize". I can trigger it from ghci with the following simple incantation: Prelude> import Graphics.UI.GLUT Prelude Graphics.UI.GLUT> initialize "foo" [] And no trouble under ghc 6.9.20080622.

Conal, I tried this today on a VirtualBox VM running the same versions as Mark Wassell, and it worked for me... I wonder, though, if perhaps GLUT is not getting a GLX (or direct) video context on your machine for some reason. That has caused some of my GLUT programs to die in the past, no matter the language. Have you tried using the GLUT library from a C program to see if you get the same error? On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 4:49 AM, Mark Wassell wrote:

With ghc 6.10.1, the patches aren't necessary for the lasted releases of the bindings. I've put a walkthrough on my blog for the process of getting `freeglut+GLUT binding+GL binding+ghc 6.10.1` up and running. http://netsuperbrain.com/blog/ David On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 10:48 AM, David Sankel wrote:
