Downloading gloss

[Maryam Raja]

Hi,

Currently I am trying to start up my university project but i have trouble getting cabal tp install gloss.

When i try to run cabal i get the following error

Build profile: -w ghc-8.10.2 -O1

In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):

 - OpenGLRaw-3.3.4.0 (lib) (requires build)

 - GLURaw-2.0.0.4 (lib) (requires build)

 - OpenGL-3.0.3.0 (lib) (requires build)

 - GLUT-2.7.0.15 (lib) (requires build)

 - gloss-rendering-1.13.1.1 (lib) (requires build)

 - gloss-1.13.2.1 (lib) (requires build)

 - myproject-0.1.0.0 (exe:myproject) (first run)

Whatever I seem to try, it doesn't allow these libraries to build. Can anyone help me please?

That problem is when building the OpenGLRaw library, not Gloss itself. You’ll need to contact the OpenGLRaw maintainers to see if they know about the problem. The Hackage page for OpenGLRaw lists Sven Panne and Jason Dagit, cc-d. I don’t know if the Windows build is maintained.
