[Haskell-cafe] Adding a custom lib to stack project

Hi Yotam,

Have you tried with cabal? If that gives the same error can you paste your cabal file somewhere and I can take a look for you.

Cheers,
Tamar

I don't use stack so can't help you much there. If you can get it to put ghc in verbose mode you can see what it's passing to the compiler. If the error is coming from stack itself then you'll need to figure out how stack tests for the library.

Thanks for the reply.
I've added extra-libraries to package.yaml.
Now though, I'm getting a missing C library error (although `stack path --extra-library-dirs` prints the directory of the .lib file)

Hi, 

I assume CreateDebuggedProcess is defined in bindings.lib? You need to also add extra-libraries: bindings 

Also keep in mind that C++ has a different name mangling than C, so if your function is in a class you'll need to use the proper name for it. 

nm -g bindings.lib would show the actual name.

Hi,

I made a lib from a  cpp project with one function: BOOL Foo(LPCSTR bar)
In the stack project I added the .lib file's folder to the extra-lib-dirs/extra-include-dirs and then, in main:

{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}

module Main where

import System.Win32.Types
import Foreign.C.String

main :: IO ()
main = do
    withCString "bar" c_Foo
    putStrLn "success"

foreign import ccall "bindings.lib Foo"
    c_Foo :: LPCSTR -> IO BOOL

When building I get the following error

What am I doing wrong?
