 A1: On other systems, you can also try upgrading freeglut to the latest version. If doing this solves a crash-bug on a non-Windows machine then please email me about it `gloss [wibble] ouroborus.net`and I'll update this wiki.

-A: This can happen on dual GPU systems when the OS switches from the integrated GPU (baked into the processor) to the discrete one (separate from the main processor). The gloss program can sometimes draw a few frames before getting stuck, otherwise it just shows a black window. This is probably a bug in OSX not switching the graphics context properly. The work-around is to disable automatic GPU switching under System Preferences / Energy Saver.

 A0: Upgrade to at least GHC 7.4[[br]]

 A: Make sure you're compiling with {{{-O2 -threaded}}}. Without the threaded runtime, the code that manages the frame rate will behave badly. This is because GHC takes too long to reschedule the gloss process after the sleep timer has expired. With the threaded runtime, most simple animations should run at about 100fps, which is our internal frame-rate cap.

 A1: You need to install `glut32.dll`. Copy it into `\Windows\System32` (for 32-bit installs) or `\Windows\SysWOW64` (for 64-bit installs). Alternatively, you can just copy it into the same directory as the `Main.exe` executable you are trying to run.
