HOpenGL-1.03 on WinDoze, step by step...
by Sven Panne 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Some people seem to have quite some trouble with HOpenGL 1.03 on WinDoze, so here's a step-by-step recipe: * First of all, use GHC 5.04.2. Older versions might work, but this one contains a lot of bug fixes. * Alas, the OpenGL/GLUT headers were accidentally left out from the WinDoze installer for GHC 5.04.2, so add the missing headers by simply unzipping http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/OpenGL-includes.zip into your GHC installation directory. * The headers on WinDoze are sometimes cheating about the actual OpenGL version. This can be fixed by applying the first patch attached below * If you want to build HOpenGL with MinGW/MSYS: * HOpenGL's build system didn't take MinGW/MSYS into account, but this can easily be fixed by applying the second patch attached below. * MinGW/MSYS comes without a GLUT header, so unzip glut.h from http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/OpenGL-includes.zip into MinGW\include\GL\. * MinGW/MSYS comes without a GLUT DLL, so copy http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/glut32.dll into MinGW\bin\. The DLL is taken from Cygwin, BTW. * If you want to build HOpenGL with Cygwin: * Apart from the default packages, you need Graphics/opengl, Devel/gcc, and Devel/make. * Building with Cygwin's XFree86 packages is currently untested, but you don't need them for HOpenGL anyway. * You don't have to do anything special to get HW acceleration, the OpenGL DLL takes care of that automatically by using your video card's DLL(s) provided by the card's vendor. Hope that helps, S. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- HOpenGL-1.03.orig/configure Mon Jul 29 17:33:03 2002 +++ HOpenGL-1.03/configure Sat Jan 18 16:32:35 2003 @@ -4130,7 +4130,10 @@ ac_status=$? echo "$as_me:4131: \$? = $ac_status" >&5 (exit $ac_status); }; }; then - hopengl_cv_gl_version=1.2 + case `uname | tr a-z A-Z` in + CYGWIN*|MINGW*) hopengl_cv_gl_version=1.1 ;; + *) hopengl_cv_gl_version=1.2 ;; + esac else echo "$as_me: failed program was:" >&5 cat conftest.$ac_ext >&5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- HOpenGL-1.03.orig/lib/find-ghc-libdir Sun Jul 21 12:19:15 2002 +++ HOpenGL-1.03/lib/find-ghc-libdir Sat Jan 18 16:28:43 2003 @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ if test "$IS_CYGWIN" = "no" ; then case `uname | tr a-z A-Z` in - CYGWIN*) IS_CYGWIN=yes ;; + CYGWIN*|MINGW*) IS_CYGWIN=yes ;; *) ;; esac fi ----------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNOUNCE: HOpenGL 1.04 released
by Sven Panne 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

HOpenGL, a Haskell binding for OpenGL and GLUT version 1.04 I am pleased to announce the fifteenth release of the Haskell binding for GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3 / GLUT 3.7beta. It offers easy access to *the* industrial strength 3D graphics API and a GUI toolkit. More details about HOpenGL can be found at http://haskell.org/HOpenGL After quite some time, this is not only a bugfix release, but offers some real improvements and new features. The changes include: * The GLUT binding has been completely rewritten and includes extensive documentation. * The API for quadrics and tessellation has been made much easier and more Haskell-like. * The configuration process has been improved once again. * The license is now BSD-like. * At least GHC 5.04.x is needed for building HOpenGL. * NURBS has been temporarily disabled (will be fixed soon). As always, feedback and/or patches are highly welcome. Have fun! Sven

divide the display in subwindows
by mai99dnn＠studserv.uni-leipzig.de 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

Hi there. I want to divide my window into subwindows to display different informations (like Nate Robins in his OpenGL Tutorials, if anyone knows). So I try to work out his solution in Haskell. My Main.hs has the following structure: main :: ... mainWin<-createWindow.. reshapeFunc (Just mainReshape) displayF... mainDisplay sub1<-createSubWindow mainWin ... reshapeFunc (Just sub1Reshape) ... -- here follows the interesting part -- in the mainReshape Nate Robins call the subReshapes... mainReshape :: ReshapeAction ... ... setWindow sub1 --!!! no sub1-Window in there :-( positionWindow (...) reshapeWindow (...) ----------------------------------------------------------------- its clear that sub1 isnt known in the mainReshape. In C you can define global variables to solve this. Is that in Haskell possible too? I can't give the sub1 Window directly to the mainReshape (mainReshape :: Window -> Resh..) because when the funtion is called in the main this sub1 isnt created yet (see above). I hope this was a clear description of the dilemma I'm in. And I pray, that I'm just too stupid and the solution is much more clearer to you. Thanx a lot Patrick

HOpenGL port for FreeBSD
by Jan Rochel 18 Jan '03

18 Jan '03

Hi, This concerns those, who use or want to use HOpenGL with FreeBSD. I wrote a HOpenGL port for FreeBSD, but it's not yet in the FreeBSD ports collection, since it has been tested only on my system. I'd be glad if you'd test it, so I can submit it as soon as possible. It's located at http://kungens.kemi.fi/~shae/haskell/hs-HOpenGL.tar.gz Download, extract it in /usr/ports/graphics and `make install'! Of course, you'll let me know any bugs, critics and recommendations... Thx Jan

I only succeeded after this. make scripts are supposed to use X11/GL, which I wasn't able to configure. You must use Win32/Opengl libraries. >From previous post of Sven: * In HOpenGL's configure, replace the line '#ifndef GL_VERSION_1_2' with something like '#ifndef ThisIsVeryUnlikely'. This is because cygwin headers doesn't show their actual version. do: ./configure make depend Find 'config.mk' and replace references to X11/GL libraries with win32 ones: [-lglut, -lGLU, -lGL, ...] -> [-lglut, -lglu32, -lopengl32] In redbook_C/Makefile.linux, comment CFLAGS var, cygwin gcc doesn't work it. I copied .h headers to any include dir in the tree :) Finally, try 'make all' ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!

What does it mean? This is a conflict between the way gcc is configured on Mandrake and the way we need to use it for GHC. There is a proper fix in CVS for the problem, but a workaround is to add the flag -optc-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer to the GHC command line. (I haven't actually tested this, but it *should* work - please let me know). Cheers, Simon

Check this weird history: I was stuck at "make install" getting the error: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory I then copied the glut files from http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/OpenGL-includes.zip and passed through this point. Later in "make install", I got a new error: test -d "/cygdrive/c/GHC/GHC-5.04.2/BIN/ghc/imports/HOpenGL" || mkdir "/cygdrive /c/GHC/GHC-5.04.2/BIN/ghc/imports/HOpenGL" mkdir: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/c/GHC/GHC-5.04.2/BIN/ghc/imports/HOpen GL': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 1 I created the missing directory by hand and finally "make install" was completed, in spite of a lot of warnings such as: - foreign declaration uses deprecated non-standard syntax - assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type - implicit declaration of function `glTexImage3D' - ... I did not understand why the examples (both C and HS) were not compiled during stall. I then tryied to compile them by hand, but got stuck at BlendEqn with the following error: ../../lib/libHOpenGL.a(GL_PerFragment__57.o)(.text+0x124)://c/WINDOWS/TEMP/g hc-3 33765.hc: undefined reference to `glBlendEquation' make[1]: *** [BlendEqn] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 1 I then decided to start it all over again (once more :]) because I realized that I copied glut files AFTER the ./configure step, and supposed that this could give me more problems in the future. When running "./configure" once more, I was very surprised by this error: checking for ghc... no configure: error: No Haskell compiler not found (!!!) Now I have no idea what am I supposed to do... perhaps uninstall everything (including GHC) and try it once more. As always, config.log is attached, in case someone can give me a light.

Starting it all over again: It works!!!
by Manuel Garcia Rodriguez 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Hello. Thanks God! After three weeks I was able to compile and run HOpenGL. There are a lot of mails in my digest about this topic, I'll try to reply all simultaneously :). I can't assure this steps are the only ones because my installation has a week of incremental changes. This is intended to work with Cygwin + GHC 5.04.2 + GreenCard 2.04 on WinXP SP1. I have a full install of cygwin, but I suppose this is not necessary. To get it working I follow this steps (after a million failures): - install cygwin, ghc... - Unzip the GL headers, missing in GHC: http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/OpenGL-includes.zip in GHC dir - Follow the steps in http://www.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/~Sven.Panne/cygwin/opengl_glut.html I've installed precompiled files only (.a). Finally I ran the test and GLUT works (!!!). Maybe it works all this time, I don't know. - ./configure && make depend - Open 'config.mk' generated by ./configure, and add/replace X11/gl lib list [-lGLU, -lGL...] with win32 ones: [-lglut, -lglut32, -lglu32, -lopengl32...] - comment the CFLAGS=-L/usr/x11r6/lib. It seems that cygwin gcc doesn't like... If you get headers missing, copy them to some default dir (maybe /usr/include) - make all - make install when everything worked I was disturbed more than the first time that failed After this nightmare, I have drawn some conclusions: - OpenGL libraries that works (for me) are WIN32 dlls (HW accel???). All the time I thinked I was working with X11/GL. - Install scripts doesn't work under cygwin (for me), I think these are fixed to X11/GL, that doen't work (by default) on cygwin. Thanks everybody for help. You'll get more news next week (Simon). Manuel. ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I > think that OpenGL is required by XWindow, so libGL.a > and libGLU.a exist in X11R6 lib path. glxgears works, > so gl works, but glut doesn't. yes, the listing at http://www.cygwin.com/packages/opengl/opengl-1.1.0-6 confirms this.. no libglut.a typical... maybe this is because the win32 and unix sources for glut are integrated into the same source tree now and maybe the glut make process decides to make only a DLL if you make it on windows, (even under cygwin). If so, that is pretty annoying... still, the opengl-1.1.0-6-src ie the SOURCE package, DOES contain all the glut sources, so why not get this source package and try compiling it, and try to find out why the rotten thing doesnt produce a libglut.a if you cant compile a libglut.a from that source package, then maybe try downloading the original sources for the glut, from opengl.org and see if that will compile under cygwin. If you do use the real openGL glut, when you do the install, it will not install the headers, just the libglut.a So you'll have to install the headers yourself. Just go into the package's include directory and copy the glut.h into /usr/local/include/GL/ or some such location. Besides that, I had no problems compiling my glut. it was simple, and it beats me why cygwin and some other distribution makers make obtaining a working glut such an ordeal. Surely someone on this list has got HOpenGL working on cygwin.. if so.. maybe they could let the list know where they got their glut. John
