Google "download glut32.dll" and pull that file down and put it in the directory with your executable. I'd attach it myself, but gmail won't let me. I use that all the time, though.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Problem description</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 17.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I compile and link (without errors) a simple GLUT application under Windows XP. <br>
When I run it, XP pops an error window saying the app cannot start due to a missing "glut32.dll". <br><span> </span><br>I want to do a static build to create a stand-alone executable GLUT app under Windows XP, <br>
without using DLL files, or placing any files in the Windows system dir. <br>This is my first GUI code in Haskell, and I chose GLUT because it is a standard library. <br><span> </span><br>Following are some details. <br>
Thanks much for any advice. <br><br></span></p>
