l'd love to put GLFW on the hackage site, but the Cabal packaging is puzzling me.
The GLFW C library is small and meant to be statically linked, which means the Cabal installation has to put all *.o files from under glfw/<platform>/ into the libHSGLFW-0.1.a (or whatever it's called). I don't know how to do this in Cabal in a truely cross-platform manner, so I'm using a custom script to finish the installation step. Any help is greatly appreciated! BTW: Not having to deal with all the GLUT wierdness is such a relief for writing OpenGL programs. Regards Paul Liu On 8/30/07, Simon Peyton-Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Great!
