linking problem, unknown symbol `strdup' about bindings-glfw HOT 6 CLOSED

Supposedly this should be fixed in 8.0.2: #48 (comment)

from bindings-glfw.

I've tried it out and I can confirm that the workaround (#28) compiles and successfully runs gears demo code.
I now just get a ton of warnings, as I did with compiling earlier versions.

for example:

Loading package bindings-GLFW-3.1.1.2 ... linking ... <interactive>: warning: _vsnprintf from msvcrt is linked instead of __imp__vsnprintf
<interactive>: warning: _strdup from msvcrt is linked instead of __imp__strdup
<interactive>: warning: MultiByteToWideChar from kernel32 is linked instead of __imp_MultiByteToWideChar
<interactive>: warning: WideCharToMultiByte from kernel32 is linked instead of __imp_WideCharToMultiByte
<interactive>: warning: SystemParametersInfoW from user32 is linked instead of __imp_SystemParametersInfoW
<interactive>: warning: LoadLibraryW from kernel32 is linked instead of __imp_LoadLibraryW

I found another project that had this issue: snoyberg/yaml#44

There is a ticket for it on GHC's trac (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9215), which leads to another ticket (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9218) about updating the version of MinGW shipped with GHC. There appears to be a patch, but it did not make it into 7.10.1. Currently, it is slated for 7.12.1. So, it might be necessary to work around this until that GHC fix.

@gglouser Great sleuthing! If that's the case then I feel better about adding the fix to the glfw source.

I've pushed the fix to hackage.

I'm having the same issue with GHC 8.0.1.
