It would appear that the type signature for globDir changed in Glob-0.9.0.

Old: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Glob-0.8.0/docs/System-FilePath-Glob.html#v:globDir

globDir :: [Pattern] -> FilePath -> IO ([[FilePath]], [FilePath]) 

New: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Glob-0.9.0/docs/System-FilePath-Glob.html#v:globDir

globDir :: [Pattern] -> FilePath -> IO [[FilePath]] 

This appears to be a simple job for -XCPP, assuming that nothing else is broken.

Here's a supposed fix: #16

Any updates on this?

[andrewufrank]

I observed the same error - with ghc 8.4.4
please fix!

[CedricLeong]

I'm getting the same error on Windows 10

[peterstorm]

Any update for this? Doesn't work on newest resolver either, as far as my tries go :(

[pigam]

Interested as well for #16 integration.

Looks like we've still got this issue on LTS-15.5.

At the moment the hpack-convert won't build with the latest GHC (such as 9.8.1, ghc-9.4.8), and the official repository doesn't provide a windows binary release. This prevents you from using hpack-convert on windows.

You might built it via older snapshot by stack, but this require downgrading the stack version, which is annoying.

For ease of use, a windows binary is provided here.

It built on windows (lts-15.5) successfully and it works well, using @kindaro 's fork: kindaro@fa98909

Please close this if everyone's happy -- (I can't recall what I was doing in 2018) and I don't use stack anymore these days anyhow.
