unable to run basic example under nix #159

Open zoranbosnjak opened 5 years ago

zoranbosnjak commented 5 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

nix-channel --update
nix-env --upgrade
git clone https://github.com/deech/fltkhs-hello-world.git
cd fltkhs-hello-world/
cabal2nix --shell . > shell.nix
nix-shell
runhaskell -Wall src/hello-world.hs

It fails with the following error:

hello-world.hs: <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: /nix/store/pf87mjvij555an8693knn0846hfprvgq-fltkhs-0.8.0.2/lib/ghc-8.6.5/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.6.5/libHSfltkhs-0.8.0.2-GIFoDRNrKJ515glQJcJQyn-ghc8.6.5.so (/nix/store/pf87mjvij555an8693knn0846hfprvgq-fltkhs-0.8.0.2/lib/ghc-8.6.5/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.6.5/libHSfltkhs-0.8.0.2-GIFoDRNrKJ515glQJcJQyn-ghc8.6.5.so: undefined symbol: Fl_Adjuster_New)

The same problem is with any compiled program which depends on fltkhs. It fails in runtime with the same error.

fltkhs does not currently work with Nix and the cabal2nix utility fails because it has a non-trivial Setup.hs Cabal build script.

I know almost nothing about Nix and it would be great to get it working so contributions are welcome.
