[blackgnezdo]

Thanks @marcespie for the hint about AC_SUBST!

@peti, any chance this can get fixed and released to hackage?

Could this change be related to this issue?:

I don't know but I'm now wondering if it's related to #73 as well. There's also #70 hanging out in this area. :(

@geekosaur Well, it seems at least this one isn’t related as long as X11-1.9.1 also fails with the same error:

Actually I managed to fix it by adding this stack.yaml file:

resolver: nightly
