For sdl2 for Haskell, I went here How to install pkg config in windows? and downloaded the pkg pkg-config-lite. I set it to path and it gives me this error Configuring sdl2-2.4.1.0... Cabal-simple_Z6RU0evB_2.4.0.1_ghc-8.6.5.exe: The pkg-config package 'sdl2' version >=2.0.4 is required but it could not be found.

I tried to find a new replacement and failed to find one that worked.

the output should be it downloads sdl2 into my computer

  • There's SDL2 the actual library, which is written in C, `sdl2` the Haskell interface to the actual library, and `pkg-config` the tool the second one uses to find the first one. You have `pkg-config` installed, but did you install SDL2 the C library before trying to build `sdl2` the Haskell interface? You can find SDL2 [on its website](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php). – HTNW Jun 10 '19 at 04:32
  • @HTNW I have sdl2 set to path with codeblocks. It still doesn't work – Another Sad balloon Aug 07 '19 at 02:38
