Pacman workaround for Windows not working anymore #40

Closed afraca closed 2 years ago

afraca commented 6 years ago

Any package with text-icu as dependency on Windows can build fine with stack build , but with stack ghci will fail with:

ghc.EXE:  | C:\sr\snapshots\7501d5b7\lib\x86_64-windows-ghc-8.2.2\text-icu-0.7.0.1-1gkLXKbDLhmLamnawnVRsL\HStext-icu-0.7.0.1-1gkLXKbDLhmLamnawnVRsL.o: unknown symbol `ucnv_getMaxCharSize_61'                                                  
ghc.EXE: unable to load package `text-icu-0.7.0.1'

Somewhere in the past, this command fixed it: stack exec -- pacman -Sy mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-icu but this is not sufficient anymore.

Are you on Windows 10? Microsoft has started shipping icuuc with Windows but an older version. Older ghci gave preference to this version so it broke text-icu. Ghc 8.4 or 8.6 should work fine.
