If you get an error w/ the solver when running this, edit (As of the time of writing ghc 8.0.1 isn't in a stack lts, if it is by the time you're reading this then ignore all the parts about the nightly resolver and editing the transformer bounds)ĭownload 64-bit stack as per the original instructions If anyone's trying to build with ghc 8 and/or sdl2-image/sdl2-mixer/sdl2-ttf the instructions above still work w/ minor changes: Whoa this is way nicer than doing everything manually with cabal, thanks for posting! Vaguely miffed that this didn't make the changelog, not least because I authored it. This should prove that everything's in order! Hopefully this provides a better starting point for newcomers. Alternately, clone the git repository and from that directory run: Again, press Y to confirm.Īt this point stack install sdl2 should Just Work, if you don't mind the global(ish) install. Run stack exec - pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 to install the pkg-config tool and the SDL2 library. Run stack exec - pacman -Syu to update msys2. This will download and install ghc and msys2, which may take several minutes. (It's safe to ignore the 'temporary workarounds' link for now.) Later instructions assume you're using the 64-bit version. Competing installations can break each other in unexpected ways! Between the header fix in SDL2-2.0.4 and an undocumented tweak to the environment stack provides to its sandboxed msys2 shell, getting the sdl2 package built on Windows is reasonably straightforward!Įdit: It's best to clear out any previous Haskell installations you may have before following these directions (or at the very least, remove them from the path).
