Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Building glib
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I've been trying to build the glib package (pretty much any version) for
a few days now, with no success. The sequence of results is:

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I've repeatedly run
into issues when installing packages through cabal. It complains about
missing C libraries and then explains that I can solve the problem by
"installing the system package that provides this library". This has never
worked for me and so I assume I'm not doing it correctly.
For example, I am currently trying to install ftgl. Using
--extra-include-dirs and --extra-lib-dirs to point at the lib and include
of the c source folder of ftgl doesn't seem to work. Neither did putting
the dll's in the path.
The tutorial linked from the wiki:[
https://noamlewis.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/cabal-install-ftgl-on-windows-and-getting-exes-that-use-it-to-work/
]
also doesn't work for me. And so I was wondering if anyone has had more
recent success with that library and more generally if there were any
suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.

Hi Cameron,
which error message do you get?
I've hacked my way through such issues by manually adding an
extra-lib-dirs:
with the _absolute_ path in the executable or library section of the
cabal file, so that could be something to try. It's not a final
solution obviously, but it would allow you to check whether it works
at all.
An example on github of this
https://github.com/nikki-and-the-robots/nikki/blob/master/src/testsuite/testsuite.cabal#L99
