I guess you are using a HOpenGL version from a tar file and not the CVS one. Hmmm, I don't think compiling that version is really feasible without the GNU toolchain. But you're right, the goal should definitely be a simple "ghc --make blahblah". I have to upgrade my box at home a little bit to try a few things before I can say how far away the CVS version is from this goal. Has anybody tried this lately?
Apart from that, some binary releases would wake sense, too. What platforms exactly are the people on this list using? Currently I have access to Win98, Intel-Linux (SuSE) and Sparc-Solaris.
I use Linux/x86 (Debian testing); the "alien" program often works for letting me use RPM's. But a source release (tarball or even CVS) with a documented build procedure that doesn't involve rebuilding all of ghc would be almost as good as a binary release. (Currently I'm using a version that I compiled by rebuilding ghc with --enable-hopengl, a process which takes many hours on my machine.)
BTW, for testing purposes it would be nice if I had some code people out there wrote using HOpenGL. Integrating that into the CVS examples CVS would be even nicer.
I might send some examples this weekend. Do you want them straight to you, or should I send them to the list? Carl

*sigh* OK, since most people are currently using the old tar ball with a new GHC, I think I'll try to package up a "compatibility release" this weekend, i.e. an updated version of the old stuff which should compile with GHC-5.02.

I can't speak for all people on this list, but it's probably better to send me your stuff directly. Not everybody without ADSL or cable modem at home will be happy with attachments, I guess... :-] My plan is to put the examples into CVS, would this be OK for you? (Andre, what about you?)

Ok, I'll re-organize my examples and send them to you in a .tar file. Cheers, -- Andre
