As a followup, this is an old GHCi bug: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3242?cversion=0&cnum_hist=29 I'm not sure if anyone else has made headway here, but I'll see if I can patch the GHC loader for mingw. Cheers, Darren Hi, This is a bit different. The SDL dependencies are configured correctly and I can link against standard Haskell programs, but a TH build phase fails.

Hi all,

...

Windows GHC 7.8.4 build issue here:

I've noticed that GHC will attempt to link mingw32 if a related dependency (in my case sdl2) is required in a TH pass. Unsurprisingly, the OS fails to find the imaginary mingw32.dll file.

Are there any known resolutions to this quirk?

It seems that Stack Overflow has the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15996796/haskell- sdl-cant-find-mingw32-dll
