I want to use the haskell FTGL binding, which need the FTGL library. There seems no binary for windows and I can't find any useful info on how to compile it. What's the easiest way to make it work?

1Generally, you install the Haskell Platform, which gives you `cabal`, and then, after satisfying any C library dependencies, do a `cabal install ftgl` – Don Stewart Jun 07 '11 at 13:32

What I want to know is just how to install the C/C++ library of FTGL on windows. – Eric Wong Jun 07 '11 at 13:56

Have you tried [this guide](http://www.pitt.edu/~mwr12/compcorner/linuxstuff/ftgl.html)? – hammar Jun 07 '11 at 14:03

1I'd skip FTGL and go with GLFW-b + freetype2. Both are on hackage and tested to work on Windows, OSX, and Linux. – Jason Dagit Jun 25 '11 at 01:06

@JasonDagit, what does GLFW have to do with fonts? – Turion Jul 27 '16 at 13:48

Did you installed FTGL on Windows successfully? – Kid Jun 27 '17 at 18:07

FTGL's source download comes with visual studio solution files (.sln), which can be built with visual studio to product the c/C++ .lib files.
They may be an older version of visual studio, but you can upgrade them which ever version you have.
