The default STACK_ROOT is ~/.stack only on Unix-like operating systems. On Windows, the default is %APPDATA%/stack (usually %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\stack).

On Unix-like OSs, Stack stores GHC and other tools in a programs directory in the STACK_ROOT. On Windows, Stack stores those tools and MSYS2 in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\stack (usually %HOME%\AppData\Local\Programs\stack).

@mpilgrem %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\stack is stack root? Their docs website seem to mention just one path for two things mentioned by you on windows. Here: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/#path

@Phantsure, if environment variable STACK_ROOT is not set, %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\stack is the stack root. The location of GHC or other tools is documented here: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/faq/#can-i-change-stacks-default-temporary-directory. On Unix-like operating systems, that location is a subdirectory of the stack root. On Windows, it is outside of the stack root.

Can we make this separate for windows and unix systems, like done here?

@Phantsure, can I double-check the intended URL behind the 'here'?

@Phantsure, I'll revise the PR to reflect that.

The default `STACK_ROOT` is `~/.stack` only on Unix-like operating systems. On Windows, the default is `%APPDATA%/stack` (usually `%HOME%\AppData\Roaming\stack`).

On Unix-like OSs, Stack stores GHC and other tools in a `programs` directory in the `STACK_ROOT`. On Windows, Stack stores those tools and MSYS2 in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\stack` (usually `%HOME%\AppData\Local\Programs\stack`).
