sdl2-2.5.3.1 fails in the Stackage Nightly build (needs SDL 2.0.10 or later)

[juhp]

Not sure what is going wrong but reporting this here:

You can try building with stack --resolver nightly build.

This seems to be a regression or change compared to sdl2-2.5.3.0, which builds fine with ghc-9.0.2.
(It is possible though that our Ubuntu 18.04 SDL2 is too old perhaps, dunno)

[nxths]

The build needs SDL 2.0.10 or later now due to #228

[juhp]

Ah I see, then it may be bounded until we upgrade our build container to Ubuntu 20.04 I guess, sorry about that

[dpwiz]

Same things happens on Hackage builder.

I'm afraid more recent features should be put under a flag. LTS-18 is not that old.

[dpwiz]

2.5.3.2 had a successful build. I marked 2.5.3.1 as deprecated.

[bergmark]

Looks good, we still have an old libsdl2-dev in stackage but i found the recent-ish which works with the old version

[dpwiz]

I set the flag to auto. Cabal promises to flip it when it would help with the build. Looks like it is working (:

[juhp]

Thanks, probably this could be closed then :)
