Hello,
After a moderate struggle with getting gtk2hs to install on Windows, I
tried to install Chart and got a linker message saying
"_cairo_image_surface_get_data" was missing.
After another struggle I figured that if I launch ghci -lcairo-2 then
everything works fine.
I tried patching cairo.cabal by adding this line:
extra-libraries: cairo-2
and reinstalling cairo. This helped, I could install Chart without problems.
My question is:
Should this line be added to cairo.cabal, or should everything have
worked fine in some other magical way, but did not, because of some
other error?
How can I diagnose what's wrong?
How is "cabal install" generally supposed to find that a dll is
needed, if I don't write it down in the extra-libraries field?
