Windows specific actions

N.B. This is work in progress; if you know how to do this, please edit this subsection

Before installing the Haskell package, you need to install the C++ package of ALUT:

• download the ALUT zip file from the web archive.
• unzip this to, for example, C:\Libraries
• Set environment variables as follows:

Set LIBRARY_DIR=C:\Libraries
Set C_INCLUDE_PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\freealut-1.1.0-bin\include;%C_INCLUDE_PATH%
Set LIBRARY_PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\freealut-1.1.0-bin\lib;%LIBRARY_PATH%
Set PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\freealut-1.1.0-bin\lib;%PATH%

If you need these variables more often, set them permanently.

This is not sufficient to install the Haskell package ALUT; there will be linker errors

Maybe the C++ ALUT must be compiled from source; this requires CMake knowledge.

Additional software

• StateVar: This package contains state variables, which are references in the IO monad, like IORefs or parts of the OpenGL state
• OpenAL 3D sound software
• OpenGL 3D graphics software
