Re: [Haskell-cafe] Issue building with ghc-9.8.2 and packages unix, directory, filepath and os-string

Normally you do not need to set `constraints: unix +os-string, directory +os-string`. It’s better to let Cabal figure out a build plan without forcing its hand. Sharing your project would help, otherwise it’s hard to diagnose. Best regards, Andrew

Hi,

I'm trying to get my program to compile with ghc-9.8.2. Raising the upper bounds of my dependencies I'm running into a compile error for the unix-2.8.5.1 package:

I can get rid of this compile error and a similar one for the directory package by setting the flag os-string in my cabal.project file: constraints: unix +os-string, directory +os-string

Now I'm wondering what is the right way to handle this case? Thanks for any hints!
