[Haskell-cafe] OpenAL - compiling problem
Dear Haskell Cafe, I tried installing the haskell openal library via cabal install openal I get the following error: ... [ 7 of 30] Compiling Sound.OpenAL.ALC.QueryUtils ( Sound/OpenAL/ALC/QueryUtils.hs, dist/build/Sound/OpenAL/ALC/QueryUtils.o ) Sound/OpenAL/ALC/QueryUtils.hs:66:1: Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: ALCdevice When checking declaration: foreign import ccall unsafe static alcGetString alcGetString :: ALCdevice - ALCenum - IO (Ptr ALCchar) Sound/OpenAL/ALC/QueryUtils.hs:102:1: Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: ALCdevice When checking declaration: foreign import ccall unsafe static alcGetIntegerv alcGetIntegerv :: ALCdevice - ALCenum - ALCsizei - Ptr ALCint - IO () Sound/OpenAL/ALC/QueryUtils.hs:120:1: Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: ALCdevice When checking declaration: foreign import ccall unsafe static alcIsExtensionPresent alcIsExtensionPresent_ :: ALCdevice - Ptr ALCchar - IO ALCboolean Failed to install OpenAL-1.4.0.1 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: OpenAL-1.4.0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 The version of my openal installation is 1.14-1. I also tried to install via darcs, but the error is the same. Any ideas?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] OpenAL - compiling problem
Hi Gary Which version of GHC are you using? My suspicion is that ALCdevice might be a newtype falling foul of recent changes to GHC... v7.4.1: GHC now requires, as per the standard, that if a newtype is used in an FFI declaration, then the constructor for that type must be in scope. For now you only get a warning if it is not, but in the future this will be an error. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

So I can only wait for a patch or use an older version of ghc, right? ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] OpenAL - compiling problem
I think OpenAL is now unmaintained. You could try to find AndrewMiller who updated the last version, otherwise you might have to patch it yourself or ask a developer of a dependent package if they would consider pushing another unmaintained release to Hackage. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
