Since commit 94acbcc, shelly depends on 'unix' so doesn't build on Windows any more. Is this intentional? @rocketnik

rocketnik commented

Sorry, my fault. No it is not. Will fix it in the next days.

hsenag commented

No problem, thanks. It's unusable anyway thanks to #177, but one step at a time :-)

rocketnik commented

Could you please check if
#178
works for your windows machine too?

dtaskoff commented

Please downgrade the version in LTS Haskell. LTS Haskell shouldn't contain packages that can't be compiled.

mihaimaruseac commented

Shelly downgraded in LTS 13.4 to 1.8.0

Hijacking this issue, please let me know if you prefer a new issue.

  • 1.8.0 did not depend on unix, and I was using it on Windows.
  • 1.8.1 now depends on unix, and hence doesn't build on Windows.

Was this on purpose? Can it be avoided?

gregwebs commented

It would be great to have a Windows use submit a fix for this

hsenag commented

I did look into it a bit when I first ran into this, and I can't remember exactly what I found, but I don't think it was easy. Just rolling back the change that introduced the unix dependency is my only real suggestion.

gregwebs commented

Can you send a tested pull request?

hsenag commented

Are you happy with the principle of rolling back the change? If so I'll do it when I have a chance, might not be immediately.

Could this issue be solved by using unix-compat instead of unix?

andreasabel commented

I think this is fixed. Please reopen with new information if you disagree.
