Adding a custom lib to stack project

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 Building all executables for `tape' once. After a successful build of all of them, only specified executables will be rebuilt. tape-0.1.0.0: build (lib + exe) Preprocessing library for tape-0.1.0.0..

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.

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) Yotam בתאריך יום ג׳, 11 בספט׳ 2018 ב-10:03 מאת Phyx <lonetiger@gmail.com>:

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.

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,

Hi Tamar, I managed to build at the end by adding the c source files with `c-sources:` in package.yaml Thanks for your help Yotam בתאריך יום ג׳, 11 בספט׳ 2018 ב-20:43 מאת <lonetiger@gmail.com>:
