When I run a glut progam in os x under ghci, I get strange behavior, including a blank white title bar (no red/orange/green buttons and no title). If I compile with ghc --make and run, i get a normal title bar.
Asking on #haskell today [1], I hear that glut and ghci don't get along on os x.
What's known about this problem? Is it fixable? I get a lot of value out of having a REPL, so I hope there's a solution.
This sounds like the problem due to ghci not running as a Mac App. If it is, the solution *used* to be to use the "EnableGUI" module and fix described on the SOE page http://www.haskell.org/soe/software1.htm; using this, I was able to run glut programs from ghci under OSX. However, I've just tried running a program that uses Glut from ghci, and even with the EnableGUI module, I now also get the behaviour that Conal describes. I upgraded my version of HOpenGL and Glut around two months ago, so wonder if something has changed?
