I'm running into the following problem trying to cabal install reactive-banana-sdl:

c:/program files/haskell platform/7.10.2-a/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.6.3/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lSDL_ttf

Failed to install SDL-ttf-0.6.2.1

What do I do?

Some details: I'm using Windows 7, and doing this in MINGW64. I've installed sdl-ttf through pacman, downloaded SDL_ttf from https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release-1.2.html, and replaced SDL_platform.h (https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/raw-file/e217ed463f25/include/SDL_platform.h) to fix another error ("winapifamily.h: No such file or directory" when compiling SDL in Code::Blocks). I made sure to include extra directories.

cabal install -v3 reactive-banana-sdl --extra-include-dirs=C:\PF\SDL_ttf-2.0.11-win32-x64 --extra-lib-dirs=C:\PF\SDL_ttf-2.0.11-win32-x64

  • The SDL_ttf download link is for SDL 1.2 - are you perhaps linking against SDL 2.0? That version requires FreeType 2.0 while the latest is built against 2.4.8. I don't have much Haskell experience but honestly, I'd build SDL from source. It's quite easy with CMake -- then you know you have all the required libs/deps. – Graeme Wicksted Dec 16 '15 at 16:57
  • @GraemeWicksted How do I check what it's linking against/make it link to the correct SDL? – holdenlee Dec 18 '15 at 03:02
  • I may not be the most helpful with Haskell but this wiki page seems to have what you're looking for: https://wiki.haskell.org/SDL you probably want hsSDL2-ttf not SDL-ttf – Graeme Wicksted Dec 21 '15 at 18:41
