Hi Sven, After comparing the 'ghc-pkg describe' for GLUT 2.2.0.0 and GLUT 2.2.1.0, on my OSX 10.5, this works for me: if os(windows) && flag(UseNativeWindowsLibraries) cpp-options: "-DCALLCONV=stdcall" extra-libraries: glut32 cc-options: "-DUSE_GETPROCADDRESS" else cpp-options: "-DCALLCONV=ccall" cc-options: "-DUSE_DLSYM" if os(darwin) frameworks: GLUT else extra-libraries: glut So a) + b). Other combinations (i've just tried them) do not work. Also, USE_NSADDRESSOFSYMBOL seems deprecated (ld gives link warnings), but -USE_DLSYM works, so I've also changed this. Please let me know how this works out. Andy On Aug 16, 2009, at 10:25 AM, Sven Panne wrote: > Am Montag, 10. August 2009 20:03:53 schrieb Sven Panne: >> Am Montag, 10.

The right way to handle this would probably be extending the MouseButton data type with an 'AdditionalButton Int' constructor and simply pass the unknown button numbers via this case. I am not so sure about a nice name for this constructor: AdditionalButton? GenericButton? Or simply MouseButton, just like the type itself? Cheers, S.

ANNOUNCE: GLUT 2.2.1.0
by Sven Panne 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

A new version of the GLUT package has been uploaded to Hackage. * The package is now autoconf-free. API entries are resolved dynamically at runtime, just like the OpenGLRaw and GLURaw packages. * Support for sRGB framebuffers has been added, just use SRGBMode with initialDisplayMode. To use this functionality, you need the upcoming freeglut 2.6.0 library, older versions and "classic" GLUT do not support this feature. * Support for context profiles has been added via initialContextProfile. Again, this works with the upcoming freeglut 2.6.0 library only. Cheers, S.

I am well aware of the fact the documentation is not optimal at the moment, but I am not willing to sacrifice portability for this tiny issue, so the flag you mention is not an option. In former releases I used an ugly CPP hack to improve the documentation a bit, but this feels wrong IMHO. The recent change from the sized Int/Word types to the C types was a consequence of removing autoconf, the next step will be using the C types wrapped in newtypes. This is the right way to do it, and it will fix the documentation, too. If you do not make any assumptions about the actual representations (i.e. use fromIntegral and friends when needed), this further change will not affect any portable code. Cheers, S.

Split package organization (AntTweakBar, Cabal, darcs)
by Gregory D. Weber 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

I'm working on a Haskell binding for AntTweakBar, a light user interface for OpenGL applications (http://www.antisphere.com/Wiki/tools:anttweakbar) I have three questions about how to organize it as a Haskell package or packages, Cabal, and darcs. First, since AntTweakBar provides support for handling events from GLUT, GLFW, and SDL, as well as customizable event handling from other sources, would it be best to divide it into four packages -- AntTweakBar (core), AntTweakBar-GLUT, AntTweakBar-GLFW, and AntTweakBar-SDL? A few other "package groups" on Hackage have taken this approach of splitting according to the user interface: for example, grapefruit-ui-gtk, reactive-glut, though not on such a large scale as I am proposing. Advantages of four packages rather than one: -- Fewer build dependencies, for example, for users who want to use just SDL and not have to install GLUT or GLFW. -- If one of the build dependencies is broken (as for example GLFW is just at the moment with the latest OpenGL), users could still build the other AntTweakBar-* packages. Disadvantages: -- More packages to install, for those who want it all. -- I might seem to be grabbing an undue share of the package namespace. And it could get way out of hand if I further split the examples from the library, making AntTweakBar-(base|GLUT|GLFW|SDL)-(lib|examples) = 8 packages! Would that be a problem? -- Possible inconvenience for the developer (see second question). Second question, assuming the four-way split is the best way to package this: my impression is that a directory can have only one cabal package file and one Setup.hs file. (http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/users-guide/authors.h…, "Creating a Package") So for example I could not have, in the same directory, AntTweakBar.cabal, AntTweakBar-GLUT.cabal, etc. That means the four packages would each have to have their own directories, and it is sometimes inconvenient to be jumping back and forth between them. Any good way around that? Third question, assuming four separate directories for the four Cabal package files. Putting all four into one darcs repo (i.e., the darcs repo would have one main directory and a subdirectory for each package) seems to make it easier to coordinate development of the related packages -- for example, a single 'darcs rec -a' takes care of recording the related changes in all four subdirectories. Any reason not to do it that way? -- ___ ___ __ _ / _ \ / _ \| | | | Gregory D.

problems running SmoothOpenGL3
by Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov 02 Aug '09

Hi, I wanted to give the new SmoothOpenGL3.hs example a try, but I ran into a strange problem with it. Prior to trying this example, I unregistered the old OpenGL and GLUT packages and installed new ones with cabal.

Strictly speaking, it breaks only code which was wrong, anyway. The OpenGL spec itself makes e.g. only assumptions about minimum sizes of the types, but prescribes no specific mapping. Granted, GLfloat e.g. has been a type synonym for Float, but there was never a guarantee for that and I consider the usage of type synonyms for this an API bug in previous versions of my package. Fixing code which breaks is quite trivial and those fixes will make any non- portable assumptions explicit (via fromIntegral, realToFrac or castPtr), which is a good thing, and the way it should have always been. In your example above, the type annotation should be ':: GLfloat', not ':: Float', which worked only by accident. If you have a 'Vertex3 Float', use 'fmap realToFrac' to get a 'Vertex3 GLfloat'. > 2. I don't see a problem adding back Int, Float, Double, etc. as > instances of those Component classes along side of C types. What GL type should be used for Int? Answer: We don't know, and perhaps there isn't even one. Same for the other types... > On the other hand, I'm comfortable with changing types like GLint to C > types, as existing code should have used GLint instead of Int. I want to go even one step further and change the GL type synonyms into data type renamings, including their common instances (Num, Ord, etc.), of course. This is the cleanest way of handling things, and it is easily possible to write code that works with the old type synonyms of Int32 and friends, the current synonyms for CInt and friends, and the future newtypes. Just make any assumptions explicit via fromIntegral/realToFrac/castPtr/... I'm sorry for any code breakage, but I feel that this is the right way to go, and I hope that other people will agree. Anyway, I'm open for discussions... Cheers, S.
