Cabal install fails #3

Closed ashishnegi closed 9 years ago

ashishnegi commented 10 years ago

This is the log error :

cabal install Resolving dependencies... Configuring OpenGLRaw-1.4.0.0... cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:

  • Missing C library: GL This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. Failed to install OpenGLRaw-1.4.0.0 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: ActionKid-0.1.0.0 depends on OpenGLRaw-1.4.0.0 which failed to install.

The exception was: ExitFailure 1 gloss-1.0.0.0 depends on OpenGLRaw-1.4.0.0 which failed to install. gloss-juicy-0.1.2 depends on OpenGLRaw-1.4.0.0 which failed to install.

I am using sandbox . I am new to haskell and just following guidelines about how to compile the projects.

It would be great if you put the steps in Readme.md

You are running the right command, but you need OpenGL installed on your system first. From the error message:

This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version)

Hello,

but you need OpenGL installed on your system first

Right.

It could also be that GL is installed but not found on your system. I had the problem for actionkid which is the main dependency here. I solved it by using cabal's extra options --extra-lib-dirs, --extra-include-dirs.

cabal install --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/mnhsckfydh097i747rsgxdrhlyv48vh1-glu-9.0.0/lib --extra-lib-dirs=/run/opengl-driver/lib --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/ffk2phimb6kgcn61jkx2hb5gm58qbdl6-freeglut-2.8.1/lib --extra-include-dirs=/nix/store/mnhsckfydh097i747rsgxdrhlyv48vh1-glu-9.0.0/include --extra-include-dirs=/run/opengl-driver/include --extra-include-dirs=/nix/store/ffk2phimb6kgcn61jkx2hb5gm58qbdl6-freeglut-2.8.1/include

(So for other beginners, this could help)

The path i used should be changed according to your platform...

Cheers,

Note For nix and nixos' users, this is not the right solution though... Use shell.nix..

Thanks @ardumont ! I'm going to close this issue for now.
