I guess I could handle this as well, but I am not sure if Stackage is okay with external build dependencies?

[jeannekamikaze]

I would have to look into Stack first, as I am not familiar with it. What dependencies are you worried about, the C libs?

[sulami]

Yes, exactly. I had a look at various packages today and there are plenty of bindings that depend on external libraries to build, so I guess it would be no problem. I just thought it might go against the stability mantra.

Generally, it's not an issue. The Stackage nightly builds test everything in an Ubuntu 16.04 environment, so as long as you can apt-get install your dependencies, it's possible to add to Stackage. And in the case of SFML,

apt-get install libcsfml-dev libsfml-dev

suffices.

Just open a PR against https://github.com/fpco/stackage, add your package in https://github.com/fpco/stackage/blob/master/build-constraints.yaml, and add libcsfml-dev and libsfml-dev to https://github.com/fpco/stackage/blob/master/debian-bootstrap.sh.
