Description
Motivation
I have a project, which depends on sdl2
. SDL2 (the C library), in turn, has a dependency of zlib1.dll
. It seems zlib1.dll
from GHC 8.6.5 is not compatible with SDL2 from MSYS. The problem is, when I run stack run
from the terminal, the zlib1.dll
chosen by Windows is always the one bundled with GHC, instead of the one installed by MSYS.
I might just copy all the DLLs together with the executable produced by stack build
to some other path and double-click to run it (and this method worked), but that is far from desirable.
Proposal
I feel that this problem can be solved by removing /path/to/ghc
from the PATH
variable during stack run
, thus the zlib1.dll
installed by MSYS could take precedence.
As far as I understand, it is not necessary for GHC to be in PATH during stack run
. If I were wrong on this, it will also be helpful to have an option.
Simply swap the sequence of GHC path and MSYS path everywhere probably will NOT help, for that might break GHC on stack build
.
