[Haskell-cafe] ghc-6.11 + OpenGL/GLUT crashes on WinXP

[Conal Elliott]

Thanks, David.  Helpful data point.

I am using glut32 rather than freeglut (and no need for patching the darcs
GLUT).  I wonder if glut32-vs-freeglut could account for crash-vs-nocrash on
6.10 and 6.11 but not 6.9.  I'd love to hear from someone on Windows and
glut32.

Please do post a wiki page on freeglut + ghc on windows and let us know
here.

Could you integrate your glutWin32 patch into the darcs GLUT?
