Package: libghc-glut-dev Version: 2.7.0.10-1 Severity: important Control: block 861957 by -1 X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Hi,
In haskell-glut 2.7.0.10 the behavior of loading libglut changed
significantly. Before, it was linked in directly (using
"extra-libraries") and dlopen(NULL) was used to access functions in it.
In 2.7.0.10 the direct linking was removed and the loading is now done
using dlopen("libglut.so").
This is bad because:
- libglut.so is the wrong library (should be libglut.so.3)
- Debian packages have lost the automatic dependency on freeglut3
This has caused raincat to stop working after it was binNMUed (see
#861957). While it could be worked around by adding a "Depends:
freeglut3-dev", this is a bit of a hack so it would be better of
haskell-glut was fixed instead.
Thanks,
James
