SOLVED. Re: [Haskell-cafe] Linker Errors For OpenGL / GLUT 'Hello World' Program.

[Donnie Jones]

Hello,

ghc -package GLUT -lglut Hello1.hs -o Hello1 --- works!  :)

I'm not sure why I must specify "-package GLUT" and "-lglut" but that
prevents the linker errors.  Also, shouldn't configure correctly figure out
how to link the GLUT libraries?  Can someone explain?

Thank you.
