I wrote some code. and fixed some errors with the help of good persons. Now, this utility(samChecker-exe.exe) works properly in Stack environment. This utility use text-icu and I coded this utility on windows. Of course, I want to work this utility on other windows OS.
I copied %stackPath%.stack-work\install\~\bin\samCheceker-exe.exe to some other folder, and execution through CMD. But I got error message that says "libicuuc57.dll dose not exist. so program can't start. please re-install the program." I copied libicuuc57.dll, and so... as like programming newbies, but failed. "stack install" command was the same result. (I installed text-icu and installed ICU lib. on windows. The input file encoded in "MS949")
With help of Francesco Ariis from (beginners@haskell.org), I stepped forward. But still got error message.

According to first error message(libicuuc57.dll dose not exist. so program can't start. please re-install the program.), I find the path for libicuuc57.dll, and re-set the extra-library-dirs.

Someones says, this is Linker Acting. How can I fix this error? Thank you so much.

I was able to test it recently, and share my solution.
First of all, I assume environment of latest msys2 which is installed mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-icu 57.1-2 package.
Executable which dynamically linked has dependencies to libgcc_s_seh-1.dll libicudt57.dll libicuin57.dll libicuuc57.dll libstdc++-6.dll libwinpthread-1.dll under stack's msys2 mingw64/bin path. If you have already built dynamic linked executable, copying all of them to same directory will solve the problem.
Dependency walker in my comment can help to reveal all of these dependencies.
Currently text-icu package doesn't seem to support static linking. So we should modify it ourselves. If you don't know how to make it into local package, note the third option of this.
Modify text-icu-0.7.0.1's .cabal file extra-libraries section to the following.
extra-libraries: sicuin sicuuc sicudt
-- if os(mingw32)
-- extra-libraries: icuin icudt
-- else
-- extra-libraries: icui18n icudata
Append -pgmlC:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.0.2\mingw\bin\g++.exe to your executable's ghc-options cabal entry. This is required to link to ICU's C++ symbols.
Then just do stack build.
