Hi, Answering the one question I know an answer to.

There used to be a flag bug in wxWidgets/wxHaskell, where (1) wxWidgets/wxHaskell would include opengl support even if you did not ask for it and (2) you still needed to pass --with-opengl in order for the appropriate right set of linker flags to be used when building applications. Otherwise, people got strange GL-related errors when compiling their apps, even if they weren't using OpenGL in any way. We have now fixed that error so that you can now compile it without that flag and still link your applications succesfully. That said, we have not established a policy on what extra batteries should be included with the default binaries. I guess a good thing to aim for is the most extras we can get that also come with a vanilla wxWidgets on all platforms. If you're willing to do research on that, we can go re-think what flags to use. I'm guessing that since prior versions of wxHaskell had opengl support, this kind of thing is OK. I'm personally hoping that a future wxhaskell will allow to install extras separately (e.g., that you could download just a binary for opengl support), but we haven't really worked out the right way to do this right. So what does this mean for you? Well, if you're willing to do so, you could recompile it yourself with flags. Otherwise, we could think about making yet another release (0.10.3-1) with opengl and some minor fixes in the makefile/configure script. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
