I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I've repeatedly run into issues when installing packages through cabal. It complains about missing C libraries and then explains that I can solve the problem by "installing the system package that provides this library". This has never worked for me and so I assume I'm not doing it correctly.
I usually use commands like: Set LIBRARY_DIR=C:\Libs Set PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\bin;%PATH% Set LIBRARY_PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\lib Set C_INCLUDE_PATH=%LIBRARY_DIR%\include\SDL2;%LIBRARY_DIR%\include For C++ libraries you need to set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH as well. In general it is not advisable to copy DLLs to the Windows directory, this might result in incompatibility problems (if other applications use different versions of the DLLs); install the DLLs in the same directory as the executable.
