Just wanted to tell anybody that I am here. Is this list active? Bye Vincenzo Ciancia
yep, the activity level goes up and down. we are in a bit of a lull at the moment. but it probly wont last long. On Monday 08 July 2002 13:42, you wrote:

As already mentioned, the list *is* active, although a bit silent recently. But from an implementor's point of view this isn't always a bad thing, perhaps everybody is happy with the API and there are no bugs at all? ;-) More seriously: What I'm still missing is some feedback on the API itself, e.g. the MPTC stuff in the OpenGL part, the design of the state retrieval sub-API, etc. I'm intending to change these parts into pure H98, but some comments on the status quo would be very helpful. Currently I'm testing the upcoming GHC 5.04 and the recent changes of GreenCard and Hugs if they work well with the last HOpenGL release. Apart from that, I'm trying to finish the rewrite of the GLUT binding (in the fptools repository), which is almost done: Only a few callbacks and the higher-level menu API are missing. The new features are: * It doesn't require GreenCard. * It is written in pure H98 + FFI + hierarchical module names. * It comes with extensive, hyperlinked documentation. * And as always: Some bugs have been fixed. Perhaps I'll re-merge this into the latest HOpenGL sources as an alpha release for public testing. Cheers, S.
how Sven manages to find the time to do all this is one of the deepest mysteries of the universe :P i think Sven must be the collective name of some kind of distributed gestalt entity composed of several thousand individuals each with the brainpower of an einstein communicating via some sort of weird telepathic network meanwhile, i have run out of toothpaste and i keep forgetting to buy more whenever i go to the shop :) doh !! Keep up the good work Sven! i would give some feedback, but i still havent done anything with haskell yet. i have a really dodgy draughts game with a minimax algorithm, which has a board which rotates in 3D. At the moment its all in C/C++ using X11 for graphics, and i was hoping to port first the graphics code to HOpenGL then maybe the minimax to Haskell one of these days, but havent even had the time to start yet. When/if i ever do ill let you know how i went tho. On Monday 08 July 2002 18:06, you wrote:

I did not want to criticize, don't worry :) I am now compiling HOpenGL, hope it could eventually become useful to me :) More seriously, I dream of a desktop environment written in haskell and for opengl, because it would be easy to code and visually impressing. It's just a dream, but if I don't experiment with Hopengl how can I surrender and say I am not able? Bye and thanks for your work Vincenzo
It must be pointed out in the installation procedure documentation that one needs write access to /usr/lib/ghc-5.02.2/ (or whatever) and /usr/lib/ghc-5.02/imports... is there some way to have an installation which does not modify anything into the system? (except of coures for the package.conf file) Vincenzo

Yes, but not automatically: Let's assume you want to install into /foo/bar. Replace $libdir with /foo/bar in lib/HOpenGL.conf and issue make GHC_LIB_DIR=/foo/bar install
(except of coures for the package.conf file)
You can use local package configuration files, but currently I can't remember how... :-} Use the GHC docs or SimonM. :-) Cheers, S.
