Ok, I will report the commands I am using:
$ cd glade (Matthew Pickering's glade repository clone)
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal update
$ cabal install --only-dependencies --dry-run

So I supose the problem lies within the cairo package, right?

Do you still get the same errors? I think the "Sandboxes: basic usage" section in [0] is what you'd follow. [0] https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/installing-packages.html#sandboxes-advanced-usage

Hi Jean,

Simply do `$ cabal sandbox add-source <path to the local glade>' and then `$ cabal install --only-dependencies' as normal. I think it should work.

Cheers,

I will try to use your branch before going back to GHC 7.8...

But, how exactly should I do that ?

Clone your branch;

Build from local source code with cabal ? (I just scrolled this part while reading cabal tutorials, guess I'll have to take a look now)

What about dependencies ? I should use $ cabal install glade --only-dependencies and than install glade from your branch ?

Hi Jean,
You can try cloning my branch until a push gets accepted upstream.

The fixes to get it working with 7.10 were fairly minimal.
