[Haskell-cafe] OpenVG: Linker errors with ghc --make, but not with ghci?

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Peter

Yes this is definitely a problem with the OpenVG package.

Although I wrote the package I don't know enough about the minutiae of
Windows .dlls to sort this out directly (even though I did write most
of the library on a Windows machine). I could try to and write a
cabal+makefile build rather than a pure cabal one to follow the
example of the OpenGL and GLUT libraries, though I don't know if that
would work. With my current OpenGL and GLUT installation[1] on Windows
I can only run GL programs from GHCi rather than compile them.

Please let me know if you want me to try a cabal+makefile package,
though the turnaround might not be quick.

Best wishes

Stephen
