I can do it myself if you don't have an Hackage account :)

I would appreciate it if you did that, as I currently don't have much time.

Hey guys,

I just hit an issue regarding events using the Hackage version. When checking the source, I saw that the Hackage package has not been updated since 2013, resulting in some breakage. It would be really nice if you could upgrade the Hackage package to make it easier to use it with stack.

Hey,

I think @jeannekamikaze is the man when dealing with SFML. Which error are you encountering? I suspect it might be because you are running a very recent SFML C++ library installation and possibly this package needs to be updated accordingly?

Also bear in mind you don't need to refer to an uploaded Hackage package if you are using stack. You can refer to a github commit, like this:

- location:
    git: git@github.com:SFML-haskell/SFML
    commit: <a_commit_hash>

This will make sure stack fetches the library from github.

Yes, the C++ library is quite recent. The problem is that events have been added to the event type enum in C++, so most of the events are just outright broken because because the numbers have shifted. I was already going ahead to looking at the source and creating a pull request to fix this, when I saw that here on GitHub, the events have already been adapted for quite some time, but the Hackage package has never been updated.

Also bear in mind you don't need to refer to an uploaded Hackage package if you are using stack. You can refer to a github commit, like this:

- location:
    git: git@github.com:SFML-haskell/SFML

I knew this is somehow possible, but did not know the exact syntax, thanks. But anyways, if the package is on Hackage, I still think it would be nice if it was current, just so other users are not going through building it, only to find out later that it is not completely compatible to the current C++ library. If you want to, I could update it myself, I would need access to the Hackage package though.

Would appreciate it if you could deal with Hackage. @adinapoli can you give sulami acccess?

And yes indeed, a recent update in SFML added a few enums to the events and to the blending modes, making the current package on hackage obsolete.

[adinapoli]

Sure. @sulami , which is your Hackage username?

It's sulami, just like here.

[adinapoli]

Done.

Okay, I updated the Hackage version, and also bumped the version number to keep it in sync with the SFML C++ library. I maintain a hackage branch over here with the changes done.

[adinapoli]

I think it would be a good idea to merge the branch into upstream/master to avoid dangling forks.

Let’s see what Marc thinks.

Yeah, please make pull requests so we can keep everything in here.
