Has anyone figured out a way to get libraries that open windows to work with
ghci? With libraries like glut I get the body of a window, but no frame, and
the process wedges. I guess the problem has to do with lack of .app bundle.
If so, perhaps a work-around might involve running ghci in an app
bundle--though I'm just speculating from vast ignorance.
Conal, I would recommend not using GLUT. I wrote an article about
picking a GUI library to use with OpenGL:
http://blog.codersbase.com/2011/03/picking-gui-library-to-use-with-opengl.html
My advice is to use GLFW-b. There are a few mac specific bugs with
using that library right now but they are fixable, and I know the
author accepts patches because I've sent several myself:
https://github.com/bsl/GLFW-b/issues
The issues with the app bundle has to do with the way the resources
are located by OSX. Anything I say beyond that is just speculation on
my part as I haven't studied the documentation in detail yet.
I hope that helps,
Jason
