Hello, is there a version of hopengl working with ghc 5.04? The one from the releases section of your website have some problems with Int/word conversion functions but also a bigger problem with CCallable instance of ForeignObj in file GLU_Quadric.gc . It seems that CCallable is obsolete. Best regards, Nicolas Oury

I guess you mean the latest and greatest GHC 5.04.2, because earlier versions work quite well with HOpenGL 1.03. Although 5.04.2 is supposed to be a patchlevel release without noticeable API changes, it isn't really: GHC's FFI has been synchronized with the FFI addendum, and there are some subtle changes, e.g. ForeignObjs can't be passed to external functions anymore. I'm quite aware of this and have a version which is "almost" working, including the new GLUT binding with rather extensive Haddock-generated documentation, which is already part of the fptools repository: http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/libraries/GLUT/ I really hope that I can make a new release before Christmas, meanwhile you can either use GHC 5.04.1 or disable GLU quadrics, NURBS, and the tesselator by hand. Cheers, S.

That's the bug I have.

Best regards, Nicolas.

Hmmm, Simon said this should still be possible with 5.04.2, so I'm a little bit confused. I've just tried HOpenGL 1.03 with GHC 5.04.1 on Solaris and everything worked fine. I don't have a 5.04.2 at hand currently (Simon: What about the Solaris binary?), so I can't figure things out immediately.

Definitely the releases, CVS currently only contains a stub OpenGL binding and the new GLUT binding. Cheers, S.

In fact, to be precise this is a CVS ghc from the day of parution of 5.04.2. (It is compiled on OS X.) (it is self-numbered 5.05...) I may have take a bad branch. Cheers, Nicolas Oury

Just a small update: I've just tested HOpenGL 1.03 with GHC 5.04.2 on Solaris, and it works, too. In a nutshell: HOpenGL 1.03 works with the official releases, but not (yet) with the CVS HEAD. Stay tuned... Sorry for the confusion, S.

I have 5.04.2 and it works fine. Sorry for the confusion, Nicolas. PS: Would it be possible in future releases to disjoin Opengl from GLUT?
