Package: ghc6-hopengl
Version: 6.4-4
Severity: important
To clarify, I have the unstable versions of ghc6 and ghc6-hopengl, while
the rest of my system is from stable. I do not know why the section
below says that apt prefers unstable, because I've pinned it to stable
and used apt-get unstable/ghc6-hopengl. That may be a source of this,
but somehow I doubt it.
Here is my example:
$ cat test.hs
main = putStrLn Hello world
$ ghc -package GLUT test.hs
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Then I searched for libsm.a in the debian packages, found that it was in
libsm-dev, and installed that:
$ cat test.hs
main = putStrLn Hello world
$ ghc -package GLUT test.hs
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1
I searched for libxmu.a, found it was in libxmu-dev, and installed that.
That was enough for successful compilation.
A further test with an actual HOpenGL program successfully compiled at
that point, although I did get a message which I think is not related:
Xlib: extension XFree86-DRI missing on display :0.0.
Don't worry about that message unless you already know it's also a part
of this same issue. I just included here in case it becomes
relevant.
This may not be an actual bug, and if there were docs that specified how
to avoid linking to these libraries, then I wouldn't consider this to be
a bug. In the absence of such docs, it seems like a missing depends.
