I assume the Haskell Platform has the same packages on all the various OSes. On the Mac: cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install bash-3.2$ cabal install openGL Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: OpenGL-2.5.0.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ cabal install openGLRaw Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: OpenGLRaw-1.2.0.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ cabal install GLURaw Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: GLURaw-1.2.0.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ cabal install StateVar Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: StateVar-1.0.0.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ cabal install ObjectName Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: ObjectName-1.0.0.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ cabal install Tensor Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: Tensor-1.0.0.1 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. bash-3.2$ > At least StateVar has been considered controversial in the past as it > introduces Data.StateVar as a module name, and that was seen as a bad > introduction to Haskell for beginners.
