Windows 10 build error

[ysitbon]

Was trying to build a project to experience haskell game programming https://github.com/jxv/dino-rush but it failed when trying building sdl2-image:

• Stack 1.7.1
• Windows 10 N 64-bit

It seems to be the same issue as #7 which was fixed with this pull request #8. As an haskell beginner I can probably talk about things that I misunderstood but is Stackage up to date with the latest fix?

Here my build logs:

@jxv dino rush love :)

I had the same error. The gccflags proposed in the referenced issue do solve it, however they were not called by default on my Windows10 machine.

I had to remove the line if(windows) from the sdl2-image.cabal file before the library would build.

[ysitbon]

Sorry for the late feedback. I didn't have time to play with for a few months... Was extremely busy at work. I can confirm that the if os(windows) condition is not working on Windows 10. I removed this line like suggested (thank you @amras0000), unindented the cpp-options property and then it was building properly.

[Krantz-XRF]

Same error occurred in stack Version 1.9.3 (Git revision 40cf7b37526b86d1676da82167ea8758a854953b (6211 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.31.1) .

But I have no idea how to modify the sdl2-image.cabal file, for I am using stack, and I found no cabal file presented. It seems that these files are cleaned by stack after every unsuccessful build.

Is there a schedule when this issue will be fixed? Or is there a temporary workaround for stack?

[ysitbon]

@Krantz-XRF I ran into the same issue. You will found the anwer to your question here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32849269/how-to-install-use-a-local-version-of-package-using-stack

[Krantz-XRF]

@ysaskia Thanks for your response, but another strange problem occurs. I downloaded this repository as a zip package and unzipped it to my project directory as that StackOverflow answer suggests.

But when I run stack build in that directory, it takes literally forever to finish compiling. I looked into the compiling process and found that the .hsc files are correctly converted into .hs, but then GHC hangs for some unknown reason. (I waited for about 2 hours, and it didn't finish compiling yet.)

FYI, I used lts-13.3 as the build plan, but I don't think this really matters.

[Krantz-XRF]

I have fixed the compiling problems by manually write the Haskell bindings for those SDL_image APIs. I rewrote the SDL.Raw.Image module to get rid of those Template-Haskells and it finished compiling in several minutes. I guess there are some problems in the function liftF, or there are some bugs in my GHC's Template-Haskell.

Strangely enough, same problem didn't occur when I compiled this library on Linux.

[tjlaxs]

While the stackage is not updated this can be fixed also by adding to stack.yaml extra-deps like:

extra-deps:
- git: https://github.com/haskell-game/sdl2-image.git
  commit: 382395c763b473032721c71921b5c9241142178f

Compiled pretty fast with lts-14.4 resolver.

[sullyj3]

Any word on when this will be added to the resolver?
