[Haskell-cafe] Compiling GLFW / SOE on Windows

[Peter Verswyvelen]

Ø  However, the readme.html file has the following note:

 

That should have been “the  GLFW readme.html file”
 

 

PS: Why do I always see these errors *after* I already posted to the forum?
;) This is actually one advantage of web-based forums, you can always edit
the original message J

Subject: [Haskell-cafe] Compiling GLFW / SOE on Windows

 

Hi,

 

This might be a tip for people trying to compile the GLFW package bundled
with SOE on Windows. I had to because I slightly modified the GLFW source
code.

 

The SOE readme.txt says:

 

“For Win32 users, you'll need MinGW environment to compile

GLFW. If "make win32-mgw" is unable to execute compile.bat

propperly, use "compile.bat mgw". Please also make sure

that your MinGW path should come before the GHC's gcc-lib

path in the PATH environment.”

 

However, the readme.html file has the following note:

 

Do not use the MSYS shell for compiling GLFW, because the supplied batch

file "compile.bat" will only work under a Windows command prompt (or MS-DOS

prompt).

 

To get it working, I basically needed to modify my PATH environment variable
so that it contains the MSYS bin folder (in my case C:\app\msys\1.0\bin),
and then run “COMPILE.bat make mgw” file using the Windows command prompt
(CMD.EXE) instead of the MSYS unix shell emulator...

 

Cheers,

Peter
