Description Ian Collier 2010-06-08 11:41:20 UTC
Description of problem:
When GLUT is called from within ghci it fails to link because the dependency on libglut is not mentioned in the package registration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghc-GLUT-devel-2.1.1.2-2.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
$ ghci
> import Graphics.UI.GLUT
> getArgsAndInitialize
  
Actual results:

Loading package GLUT-2.1.1.2 ... linking ... <interactive>: /usr/lib64/ghc-6.10.4/GLUT-2.1.1.2/HSGLUT-2.1.1.2.o: unknown symbol `glutGet'
ghc: unable to load package `GLUT-2.1.1.2'

Expected results:

Loading package GLUT-2.1.1.2 ... linking ... done.
("<interactive>",[])

Additional info:
If the file /usr/lib64/ghc-6.10.3/GLUT-2.1.1.2/register.sh is edited to append "glut" to the line that says "extra-libraries:" and then the package is unregistered and reregistered, the error goes away.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2010-06-10 07:41:02 UTC
Also happens in F13 with ghc-6.12.1.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2010-06-10 07:42:11 UTC
Assuming this is GLUT specific then I think this may be an upstream issue
would be good to report to the mailing-list/Sven.

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2010-06-10 07:52:21 UTC
GLUT-2.2.2.0 seems ok:

$ cabal install GLUT-2.2.2.0
$ ghci -package GLUT-2.2.2.0
:

Seems it was fixed in GLUT-2.2.1.0.

It should be straightforward to patch GLUT.cabal to fix this.
