Update:
I downloaded MinGW and MSYS and tried to install the GLUT library. I
just can't get the thing to work, and I feel like I'm sitting in my
own little section of Hell.
I have tried everything I could think of so far, and it still doesn't work.
Today I tried to sanitize my machine and start over. Here is my
sequence of steps. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
-- Ron
1. Try to sanitize the machine.
* Uninstall GHC, then delete C:\ghc and C:\Program Files\Haskell
* Uninstall MSYS-DTK, MSYS, MinGW, then delete C:\MinGW and C:\MSYS
* Verify that there is no glut*.dll in C:\Windows\System[32]
* Delete C:\freeglut and C:\GLUT
2. Reboot.
3. Obtain the following files:
Note: If I already downloaded a file, I saved it to avoid
downloading again.
[1] GHC windows executable
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6.1/ghc-6.6.1-i386-windows.exe
[2] FreeGlut
http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freeglut/freeglut-2.4.0.tar.gz
[3] Haskell GLUT library
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/GLUT/2.0/GLUT-2.0.tar.gz
[4] Automated MinGW installer
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe?modtime=1168811236&big_mirror=1
[5] MSYS: Minimal System installer
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?modtime=1079444447&big_mirror=1
[6] MSYS: Supplementary Tools installer
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?modtime=1041430674&big_mirror=1
[7] The RotatingCubes example, modified by adding an actionOnWindowClose
in order to verify that FreeGlut is actually being used.
http://hpaste.org/2632
3. Install GHC by running [1].
4. Open a command window (Start->Run, type "cmd", click OK)
5. See what packages came with GHC.
C:\Documents and Settings\Ron> ghc-pkg list
C:/ghc/ghc-6.6.1\package.conf:
Cabal-1.1.6.2, GLUT-2.1.1, HUnit-1.1.1, OpenGL-2.2.1,
QuickCheck-1.0.1, Win32-2.1.1, base-2.1.1, cgi-3001.1.1, fgl-5.4.1,
filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6.1), haskell-src-1.0.1, haskell98-1.0,
html-1.0.1, mtl-1.0.1, network-2.0.1, parsec-2.0, regex-base-0.72,
regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0,
template-haskell-2.1, time-1.1.1, xhtml-3000.0.2
** Puzzle: Why does GHC have GLUT-2.2.1 if the latest verion of the
GLUT library [3] is GLUT-2.0?
6. Try to run the modified RotatingCubes example [7], it should fail
because I have neither GLUT not FreeGlut installed.
C:\Documents and Settings\Ron> cd C:\RotatingCube
C:\RotatingCube>ghci RotatingCube.lhs

7. Unzip the freeglut package [2] into C:\freeglut and then open the
C:\freeglut\freeglut-2.4.0\freeglut.dsw file with Microsoft Visual
Studio 2003. Select "Yes to all" when asked to convert to 2003
format.
8. In VS 2003 main menu: select Build -> Batch Build, then click
"Select All", then click "Build".
VS 2003: Build: 4 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped
9. Close VS 2003.
10. Copy and rename
from: C:\freeglut\freeglut-2.4.0\Release\freeglut.dll
to: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\glut32.dll
11. Try to run the modified RotatingCubes example [7] again.

12. Copy C:\freeglut\freeglut-2.4.0\include\GL\*.h
to C:\ghc\ghc-6.6.1\include\mingw\GL\
Note: glut.h will be overwritten
13. Try to run the modified RotatingCubes example [7] again.
(It fails, exactly as in step 11.)
14. Run the MinGW installer [4]. Select "Full Install", leave
everything else at its default value.
15. Run the MSYS installer [5]. Leave everything at default values.
* Post Install Q & A:
Do you wish to continue with the post install? [yn ] y
Do you have MinGW installed? [yn ] y
Please answer the following in the form of c:/foo/bar.
Where is your MinGW installation? c:/MinGW
16. Run the MSYS Supplementary Tools installer [6]. Leave everything
at default values.
17. Unzip the Haskell GLUT library into C:\GLUT; this creates the
folder C:\GLUT\GLUT-2.0.
18. Start MSYS using the desktop shortcut installed in step 15.
19. Execute the following commands in the MSYS shell.
$ cd /c/GLUT/GLUT-2.0/
$ runghc Setup.hs configure
configure: WARNING: no GLUT header found, so this package will not be built
