Cool; looks as if there were some Cabal-related changes, so that
bit mb fell on the floor (and non-Windows users aren't bitten by it.)
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.

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:

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?
