Hi Dave

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

I never successfully managed to persuade my Windows machine to do a push to
darcsden. Because there is almost no documentation, this has been hard to
debug!

I am in the process of digging out the old OpenGL support for wxHaskell - it
was removed a while back due to build problems on some targets. You will
probably need to add support for wxGLContext, which was never wrapped, but
the wxGLCanvas code should work provided you link with the correct
libraries.

I've suggested to Joel that I send a patch with wxGLCanvas support which you
can put on your Darcsden repo as a starting point. I'll make it compile and
link for Ubuntu, but I won't have time to check whether it is very complete
or functional, so you will likely have some work to do before it is usable.

I've taken a look - very good work, and I'd like to complement you for
taking time to do things properly in every case.

I have put a lot of my 'work in progress' out there, in case it is of
interest/use to anyone.

The code for building a DLL using the C++ compiler (i.e. which went with the
blog post on the subject) is now a Gist at git://gist.github.com/1301115.git

The work in progress for 2.9 support is at
https://patch-tag.com/r/jodonoghue/wxhaskell-branch/home - please note that
this code is not very clean at all - I will gradually merge cleaned up
versions of anything you haven't yet done into your 2.9 branch.

Regards
Jeremy
