[HOpenGL] Fwd: different glut32 problem

Hi Sven, Do you still maintain the OpenGL and GLUT packages? Problem and solution described below.

Package data for older GHCen have it, but in the ld-options field. If you could fwd the mod to the maintainers, that'd be great. --sigbjorn On 10/30/2008 19:23, Conal Elliott wrote:

Problem solved, thanks to a suggestion from Sigbjorn.

The OpenGL.buildinfo.in http://OpenGL.buildinfo.in and GLUT.buildinfo.in< http://GLUT.buildinfo.in> files were missing entries for 'extra-libraries'. Once I added these entries, everything works.

I wonder why other people aren't having the same problem. Any theories?

I'm getting some more information now on failure with glut32 (not freeglut). After getting cygwin out of the way, now GLUT fails to load in ghci (rather than crashing). Quitting ghci shows a missing symbol:

*Main> main Loading package syb ... linking ... done. Loading package array-0.2.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package containers-0.2.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package OpenGL-2.2.1.1 ... linking ... done.

bash-3.1$ which glut32.dll /c/WINDOWS/system32/glut32.dll

When I hide glut32.dll (rename it) and try again, I get the same result. Same result again when I copy glut32.dll into the directory containing the Haskell test module.

Any ideas?

Thanks, - Conal
