Development of SDL2 bindings are continuing in https://github.com/haskell-game/sdl2 , this package is deprecated.

(I'll update the README today to redirect new users/contributors to sdl2 package.)

Thanks. The new package looks great but boy does it have a lot of dependencies. This is actually a drawback for my purposes since I've found that many packages do not just build "out of the box" in a cross-compiling environment. Since I'm targeting Android I think I'll stick with this package which has much fewer dependencies (and I've already successfully built).

As far as I can see sdl2 has only one big dependency, linear, and that's used in some input handler functions. It may be possible re-implement/copy used functions from linear package if only a few functions are used.

In the worst case I think you can fork sdl2, remove linear dependency by yourself and have something that is cross-compilable to Android.

(I'm saying this because sdl2 is a lot more tested and it's currently being actively used in some projects so it may have a lot of bugfixes and/or improvements over this one. (personally I never used it though))
