OpenAL doesn't work on Windows (without some tinkering)

Description

I managed to compile OpenAL on Windows (relatively straightforward), but had some trouble with building examples. It turned out that the library links to openal32.dll via stdcall instead of ccall. After editing the 'configure' script by hand and rebuilding, the problem disappeared.

This bug is listed as fixed in the upstream bug tracker, though.

I also wonder why do Haskell's OpenAL bindings have to depend on OpenGL (the C library doesn't have this dependency).

Looks like the patch was applied, but the Cabal package wasn't updated yet.

Just to make this clear: OpenAL works on Windows with the patch from http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1140 , the bug is against the current Hackage version.

As already mentioned above, the calling convention bug is already fixed in the OpenAL repository. I'm trying to upload a new release to Hackage in the next few days, but first I'll have to figure out how to do this. My packages on Hackage were uploaded by Ross and Ian.
